32 P-label is introduced by incoming dGT 32 P molecule. The arrows indicate the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis. The bases of the template DNA strand are designated as clear boxes, and the bases in the ...
Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important type of molecular machine that automatically ...
Researchers in China have developed a new method that allows them to insert long stretches of DNA into a genome. The process, named GRAND editing, is one of a handful of new systems aimed at using two ...
Chemists have made a discovery that supports a surprising new view of how life originated on our planet. They demonstrated that a simple compound called diamidophosphate (DAP), which was plausibly ...
A novel chip automates the reaction cascades occurring between molecules inside DNA to carry out complex mathematical calculations. The field of DNA computing has evolved by leaps and bounds since it ...
DNA is usually known as a biological carrier of information. However, scientists can use DNA as a building material to make microscopic structures. These DNA structures can self-assemble through ...
The clever use of a specially modified primer during PCR allows the rapid and inexpensive gel electrophoresis-based purification of single-stranded DNAs. Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules, which ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) DNA is well known as the genetic material, but has also been used as a building block for the construction of nanoscale structures and periodic arrays. One other application is ...
