A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

Unfortunately, scientists have failed to find evidence of this “first replicator” or recreate the replication process in the ...

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 ...

It takes a tightly coordinated dance involving dozens of proteins for the DNA-copying machinery to start replication at the right point in the cell’s life cycle. Researchers have a pretty good ...

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

A protein that prepares DNA for replication also prevents the replication process from running out of control, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. The work, published ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their ...

Computer simulations help materials scientists and biochemists study the motion of macromolecules, advancing the development ...

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 ...

This review focuses on target molecules that are implicated in the development of innovative anticytomegaloviral approaches, such as viral immediate-early and DNA replication proteins, as well as ...
