A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

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 ...

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

The replication fork is more than just a means for DNA duplication. It is connected to a checkpoint system that keeps the genome intact and prevents cancer. Aa Aa Aa Eukaryotic genomes are ...

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.

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

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

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 ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

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 ...
