Nucleotides are the fundamental units that make up the genetic material of all living organisms. They are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information. Nucleotides ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

Life on Earth depends on the ability of cells to duplicate their genetic material, encoded in DNA molecules, and pass this information on to the next generation. Elucidation of the molecular mechanism ...

This image is an overview of manganese transport and role in providing nucleotide building blocks for DNA. The red, blue and brown shapes are components of the complex that transports manganese into ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Stockholm University show for the first time how NrdR binds to DNA to inhibit RNR. The novel mechanism could help scientists design ...

(Nanowerk News) Using x-ray crystallography, researchers studied 36 DNA-based molecular junctions and discovered factors that yield superior 3D self-assembled lattice structures (Nature Communications ...

Three meteorites contain the molecular building blocks of DNA and its cousin RNA, scientists recently discovered. A subset of these building blocks had been detected in meteorites before, but the rest ...
