For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

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

Arthur Kornberg compared DNA to a tape recording of instructions ... Nonetheless, scientists are familiar with the basic steps in the replication process, and they continue to rely on this ...

the DNA replication checkpoint is the master surveillance system that steps in when a cell has problems during DNA replication. What does the DNA replication checkpoint really monitor? This ...

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

The DNA repair and replication pathways converge on a common final step in which the continuity of the repaired DNA strand is restored by DNA ligase, an enzyme that converts nicks into phosphodiester ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...
