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 ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind ...

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 ...

Dr. Adeyemi adds, “in this work we sought to determine how loss of this gene increases the sensitivity of cells to various agents that damage DNA particularly during replication.” “Inter-strand ...

Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication ... mechanisms of DNA polymerase α–primase ...

Researchers led by University of Tsukuba have discovered rdxPolA, a putative DNA polymerase involved in replicating ancestral mitochondrial genomes, in diverse eukaryotic lineages. Based on the ...

Their next aim was to determine exactly how the structures halt DNA replication. The two major possibilities were that the helicase was arrested or that the polymerase was inhibited. The team ...

5 ori- The specific sequence of DNA which initiates replication ... strands 41 Extension-DNA polymerase extends the primers by adding complementary nucleotides.Taq polymerase is used here.

The first DNA polymerase was identified by Arthur Kornberg in 1957 during his studies on the DNA replication mechanism ... called the Taq Polymerase, could withstand very high temperatures ...

It is said to be found during the start of a gene. DNA replication occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle. DNA replication is the process where DNA copies itself. This happens so that old ...
