For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

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

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

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

Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNA replication is one of the most basic processes that occurs within a cell.

The mRNA is then reverse transcribed into DNA, which is then integrated into the ... supernatant by transient transfection as well as assay for replication competent retrovirus. Retroviral ...

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

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...

Additionally, the scientists unexpectedly captured for the first time a detailed picture of how the "engine" driving the cellular replication machinery moves along DNA in human cells. Their ...
