Researchers made a “huge breakthrough” when they did an experiment “purely out of curiosity” which solves “a decades-long ...

All living things rely on RNAP to transcribe DNA into RNA. In bacteria, researchers have long known that transcription begins when RNAP clamps onto a DNA strand and initiates the process after ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

in the form of a sliding clamp and a clamp loader. A DNA helicase, powered by ATP hydrolysis, propels itself rapidly along one of the template DNA strands (here the lagging strand), forcing open ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs.
