For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

This study reveals how SV40 helicase unwinds DNA, highlighting ATP hydrolysis's role in translocation and offering insights ...

The effect of saccharin on the microbiome has received much attention, but its impact on pathogenic bacterial species is less ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

The discovery, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, is stated to have far-reaching implications, helping us to ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Because enzymes are little molecular machines, heat cycling is enough to get them to do the work of DNA replication. The process is called the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (If it sounds ...

Understanding the process of replication and transcription of mtDNA ... "While mtDNA is much smaller than nuclear DNA, it plays a crucial role in life forms through energy production.

"When our cells divide, our DNA needs to be copied so that a complete set of genetic instructions is passed down from a parent cell to new daughter cells," Dr. Hite says. "The replication process ...
