The researchers show that the structure is similar to the condensed chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. The compacted DNA also includes many small, paired polyphosphate bodies, some of which seem to ...

Condensed phases of matter—crystals, glasses, quasicrystals and layered assemblies—derive their macroscopic behaviours from the arrangement and bonding of atoms, ions or molecules on length scales ...

IN an earlier publication 1 the formula of the highly active synthetic œstrogenic analogue, stilbœstrol, was contrasted with those of œstrone and chrysene. The figures in this earlier letter in NATURE ...

Researchers centered at Japan's National Institute for Physiological Sciences reveal details of the structure of compacted DNA transiently formed at the time of cell division in cyanobacteria.
