For the first time, an elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been demystified by scientists at Penn State University. According to senior author Stephen J. Benkovic, an Evan Pugh ...
Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...
A scientific team says it has pinpointed the crucial steps in the beginning of the DNA replication process, including surprising structural details about the enzyme that unzips and splits the double ...
Why is DNA so important? Put simply, DNA contains the instructions necessary for life. The code within our DNA provides directions on how to make proteins that are vital for our growth, development, ...
Scientists have captured new details of the biochemical interactions necessary for cell division. The research may suggest ways for stopping cell division when it goes awry. Building on earlier work ...
An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed, for the first time, by scientists. The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had ...
