During cell division, the familiar double-stranded DNA helix gets split into two single strands, and the cell's replication ...

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a ...

Using lasers, they applied different amounts of force to mimic the tension DNA normally experiences during replication or proofreading to experimentally promote these enzymatic functions. Then, by ...

Previous research suggests that about two thirds of the mutations that drive cancer result from errors made during DNA replication. DNA replication is an essential part of cell division.

The 4-cell embryo can now be seen as a transitional stage during which uniform DNA replication becomes sequential, while still showing slow fork movement characteristic of 1- and 2-cell embryos.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications ...

Z-DNA has a left-handed double helix structure. It is said to be found during the start of a gene. DNA replication occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle. DNA replication is the process where ...

Now we have shown that Mrc1 is required for efficient histone recycling to both daughter strands Drs Charlton and Flury’s experiments showed that, during DNA replication, Mrc1 operates as a central ...

TWINKLE is a mitochondrial helicase – an enzyme that unwinds the double-stranded DNA helix during replication. It’s essential for the proper duplication of mitochondrial DNA and works alongside POLγ ...
