Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

DNA-nano/microparticle motors are among the fastest artificial molecular motors reported to date, moving at approximately 30 ...

An entirely computational study reports that three designed 9-anilinoacridine derivatives show favourable predicted binding to estrogen receptor-alpha, with compound II(f) prioritized on the basis of ...

Called Cas12a2, the CRISPR system had some distinctive properties. Rather than editing cells’ DNA when prompted by a guide RNA, as CRISPR-Cas9 does, Cas12a2 indiscriminately shreds it, ultimately ...

Researchers say ‘AI worms’ could soon infiltrate internet-connected devices amid calls for increased guardrails Anthropic is warning that some of its artificial intelligence models could soon become ...

It’s tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

Built for scientists, CodeLifeAI unifies biological design, molecular modelling, AI-assistant, and research management into one powerful intelligent environment HONG ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by DNA damage. Among the most dangerous lesions are DNA interstrand crosslinks ...

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature Communications publication. In the study, Chappell describes ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into ...

Researchers have created a 3D simulation that models DNA replication, cell division and nearly every chemical reaction in a living bacterial cell. This ‘virtual cell’ isn’t a totally faithful ...
