Our research focuses on all aspects of nucleic acid structure, chemistry and function employing state of the art technologies and approaches. Our goal is to generate a better understanding of how ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

The new tool can predict the structures and interactions of an array of molecules, including nucleic acids, small-molecule ligands, and macromolecule modifications (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038 ...

Find out about the structure of DNA and how it carries codes for the production of all the proteins in the body. BBC Bitesize Scotland National 5 Biology.

Credit: Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/ What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions ...

A team of researchers has developed a method that could transform the field of protein engineering. The new approach, called ...

Amino acids play a fundamental role in regulating how cells respond to drugs. These molecules, which form proteins, act like ...

The water molecules played a major role in stabilizing the protein and regulating these transitions with their own hydrogen bonds. “We now understand why the protein would have evolved with those ...

The first PNAs were designed in 1991 by University of Copenhagen chemist Peter Nielsen as his team was looking for molecules that mimic the way proteins bind to DNA (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science ...

Each protein is made of a string of molecules called amino acids. Fold the string up, and you’ve got a protein. But how the string folds is key. It can pleat like a paper fan, bend into spirals ...
