DNA, the genetic material compacted in chromosomes, stores information to regulate all the cell processes in the body. Two decades ago, in addition to the widely known Watson-Crick double helix model ...

(a) Fluorescence images showing the chromatin in FGO stained with DAPI. Scale bar, 20 μm. Yellow triangles indicate DAPI-dense heterochromatin foci and the red triangles denote the nucleoli or NLBs.

Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...

Biomolecular self-assembly is a topic of current research interest consequent to biological function, therapeutics, biosensor applications, and biotechnological materials. Understanding self-assembly ...

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...
