Usage Examples English
  • In 2011, Abdul-Jabbar was awarded the Double Helix Medal for his work in raising awareness for cancer research.
  • During their model building, Crick and Watson learned that an antiparallel orientation of the two nucleotide chain backbones worked best to orient the base pairs in the centre of a double helix.
  • The non-covalent interactions between antiparallel strands in DNA can be broken in order to "open" the double helix when biologically important mechanisms such as DNA replication, transcription, DNA repair or protein binding are set to occur.
  • ... DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.
  • Rosalind Franklin took the X-ray photograph of a DNA fibre that proved key to James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of the double helix, for which they both won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1962.

  • The absence of the 2′ hydroxyl group in deoxyribose is apparently responsible for the increased mechanical flexibility of DNA compared to RNA, which allows it to assume the double-helix conformation, and also (in the eukaryotes) to be compactly coiled within the small cell nucleus.
  • One can also find structural examples of the DNA double-helix spiral and a nod to the geodesic sphere.
  • Low fat spreads were developed at the University of Leeds (in conjunction with Unilever) in the 1980s, and in the 1930s William Astbury's x-ray diffraction experiments at the university started the road to the discovery of the double helix structure.
  • They form the building blocks of the DNA double helix and contribute to the folded structure of both DNA and RNA.
  • Based on its success, Raven Software and Activision later published "Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix" in 2002, based on the "Quake III: Team Arena" engine.

  • The anecdote is related in Watson's book "The Double Helix".
  • In RNA, which also has extensive secondary structure, the linear chain of bases is generally just referred to as the "sequence" as it is in DNA (which usually forms a linear double helix with little secondary structure).
  • required for separation of the two DNA strands in the DNA double helix after each replication cycle.
  • The publication of the double helix structure of DNA has been described as a turning point in science; understanding of life was fundamentally changed and the modern era of biology began.
