Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

The effect of saccharin on the microbiome has received much attention, but its impact on pathogenic bacterial species is less ...

This study reveals how SV40 helicase unwinds DNA, highlighting ATP hydrolysis's role in translocation and offering insights ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process necessary for life itself. Using a sophisticated imaging technique that ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

The flowerpot snake, one of the world's smallest snakes, has some unusual distinctions. Also known as the Brahminy blind ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Upon binding, helicases melt the DNA, breaking the chemicals bonds holding the double helix together. They then pull the two strands apart, allowing other enzymes to complete the replication.

Saccharin destabilizes bacterial membranes and interferes with DNA replication, causing lysis and impairing virulence traits.

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
