Researchers from Bell Labs and the University of Oxford have built a microscopic DNA machine that resembles a pair of motorized tweezers. They say the methods used to construct the motor may one ...

Here, Migliori et al.provide functional and computational evidence that electrostatic interactions between subdomains of the T4 packaging motor provide the driving force for DNA packaging.

Scientists have successfully used DNA building blocks to construct a motor capable of navigating a programmable network of tracks with multiple switches.

Kyoto, Japan -- Expanding on previous work with engines traveling on straight tracks, a team of researchers at Kyoto University and the University of Oxford have successfully used DNA building ...

It is one of the mysteries in biology: how does a cell neatly distribute its replicated DNA between two daughter cells? Scientists are split into two camps: the first argues that condensing works ...
