The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

(Top) Schematic diagram of the basic unit (Y-motif) of DNA condensates and their binding via sticky-end interaction. (Bottom) A schematic diagram illustrates how DNA condensate formation is regulated ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make ...

A research team from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel DNA origami-based technique to synthesize stable, monolithic amorphous silver nanostructures under ...

Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...

Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate (vitamin B9) that plays a vital role in cell growth, DNA formation, and red blood cell production. During pregnancy, it helps prevent serious birth defects ...
