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 ...

Enzymes inside cells that normally repair damaged DNA sometimes wreck it instead, researchers have found. The insight could lead to a better understanding of the causes of some types of cancer and ...

Scientists at IU use E. coli to study DNA replication mutations involving APOBEC gene family. ... Cancer-Causing Enzyme Acts during DNA Replication February 2, 2016.

Single-stranded DNA is less common than double-stranded DNA. It is often found in some viruses and plays a key role in certain biological processes, such as cell replication or repair.

The proteins that drive DNA replication—the force behind cellular growth and reproduction—are some of the most complex machines on Earth. The multistep replication process involves hundreds of ...

They were studying DNA replication in cells raised under a limited supply of nucleotide bases that make up the A, T, C, and G letters of the DNA code. “You can think of it as your car running ...

Canvax’s new inorganic pyrophosphatase is a DNA replication enhancer with ≥ 95% purity and has an enhanced capacity for increasing RNA yield in in-vitro transcription (IVT) reactions.The enzyme, which ...

Certain enzymes, called endonucleases, are attracted to DNA/RNA hybrids that form when gene transcription goes awry -- and they cut the DNA like scissors to damage it.

RNA primers for DNA replication are usually synthesized by specialized enzymes, the primases 1.However, some replication systems have evolved to use cellular DNA-dependent RNA polymerase for ...
