The intricate division of labor within a "crown-shaped" protein complex, which viruses use to replicate their ribonucleic ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

DNA replication begins with a set of proteins -- the Origin of Replication Complex (ORC). Researchers published images of the human ORC in exquisite detail, showing how it changes shapes in dramatic ...

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 ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how ...

A research team led by Professor Dr. Niels Gehring from the Institute for Genetics has shown that the coordinated interaction of three proteins plays a central role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

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 ...
