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 DNA ...

Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a key enzyme—RNase H2—that helps triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells survive high levels of DNA replication ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

Bacterial DNA replication is a highly coordinated process that ensures faithful genome duplication and cell division. Replication initiates at a single chromosomal origin (oriC) where multiple copies ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

A new study led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center researchers shows that an enzyme called PARP1 is involved in repair of telomeres, the lengths of DNA that protect the tips of ...

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, an ...
