		A Visit With Dr. Francis Crick ^Votes:0 -Advertisement- A Visit With Dr. Francis Crick Access Excellence Classic Collection What follows is a transcript of a visit with Dr. Francis Crick (1916-2004), co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule. Dr. Crick offers a fascinating look at the world of science at the time of this important discovery, as well as an equally fascinating glimpse into the thought processes of a brilliant scientist and thinker. This transcript is provided courtesy of Carolina Biological Supply Company. Narrator: The 1953 discovery by Dr. Francis Crick and James Watson of the structure of the huge DNA molecule, the molecule which we now know stores the genetic information for all life, has been cited by many scientists as the single most important development in biology of the 20th century. Watson and Read More Go to Site

		DNA Molecule - Two Views ^Votes:0 -Advertisement- DNA Molecule - Two Views DNA Molecule - Two Views Legend: The double helix of the DNA is shown along with details of how the bases, sugars and phosphates connect to form the structure of the molecule . DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Hope Denise Hall was violently raped and murdered in 1994 in Petersburg, Virginia. Nearly four years after the crime, the perpetrator was identified during a random DNA search conducted by Virginia forensic scientists. The family of Hope Denise Hall has created this web site in her honor. Their purpose is to promote the implementation of the existing DNA databank to include DNA samples of all national and international criminals. The successful implementation of connecting all countries in the world in a single DNA database will escalate the rate of capture and conviction of criminals Read More Go to Site

		Polymerase Chain Reaction - Xeroxing DNA ^Votes:0 -Advertisement- Polymerase Chain Reaction - Xeroxing DNA National Center for Human Genome Research, National Institutes of Health. "New Tools for Tomorrow's Health Research." Bethesda, MD: Department of Health and Human Services, 1992. Who would have thought a bacterium hanging out in a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park would spark a revolutionary new laboratory technique? The polymerase chain reaction, now widely used in research laboratories and doctor's offices, relies on the ability of DNA-copying enzymes to remain stable at high temperatures. No problem for Thermus aquaticus, the sultry bacterium from Yellowstone that now helps scientists produce millions of copies of a single DNA segment in a matter of hours. In nature, most organisms copy their DNA in the same way. The PCR mim Read More Go to Site

		The Mysteries of DNA ^Votes:0 Our web page is about DNA because we are interested in the medical sciences. As sixth grade students we had heard news stories about DNA, cloning and DNA indentification testing. We knew little or nothing about DNA and decided to become more informed. Both of our mothers were studying to be nurses and we became interested. DNA manipulation has become a current issue. One question arose...... Will this new age of DNA have positive or negative effects? Every student should be aware in order to form their own opinions about the uses of DNA.
