At different times during the life cycle of a cell, the DNA that makes up the cell's chromosomes can be tightly compacted into a structure that is visible under a microscope, or it can be more ...

Today we can go down incredibly close and incredibly small into the DNA structure. But how clearly ... breakthrough using a transmission electron microscope to produce the image of the DNA treads ...

Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson ... RNA and other biomolecules interact with DNA. The structure of DNA was originally discovered using X-ray crystallography.

In other words, what emerges from our theoretical study is that even in supramolecular structures, as in the physics of DNA, there is a connection between what occurs in a part of the structure ...

Enzo Di Fabrizio, a physics professor at the Magna Graecia University in Catanzaro, Italy, snapped the picture using an electron microscope. Previously, scientists had only seen DNA's structure ...

This raises a question: are there other kinds of measurement from which we could obtain further information about the microscopic flexibility of DNA? One possibility is to look at melting ...

After ten minutes, the separated blocks self-assembled into a simple branching structure of alternating ... to witness chemistry as microscopic as interacting DNA strands with our own eyes.
