A new study published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology reveals how the fundamental enzyme called DNA polymerase delta operates during DNA replication, making a copy of the genetic code ...

Researchers have discovered how the enzyme DNA polymerase delta works to duplicate the genome that cells hand down from one generation to the next. Mount Sinai researchers have discovered how the ...

Image showing polymerase theta and polymerase delta's physical association. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Our DNA is not indestructible. Throughout the course of our lives, DNA can break in response to ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from ...

During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones. DNA Polymerase enzyme syntheses labeled educational vector ...

Using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), researchers revealed how conformational changes in the viral DNA polymerase alter the virus’s susceptibility to drugs. The new findings further the ...

Nudler and coworkers found that during this transcription process, RNA polymerase also finds DNA lesions, and then serves as a platform for the assembly of a DNA repair machine called nucleotide ...

Now his team has built a mirror version of the 775-amino acid Pfu DNA polymerase, which Zhu says is the largest functional protein to be chemically synthesized to date. In its natural form ...

Medical researchers have learned more about an enzyme found to be overly expressed in patients with hereditary breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer. Our DNA is not indestructible.
