Scientists have sorted out another piece of the DNA replication puzzle by showing what might happen to histones through the process of unwinding DNA. The linkurl ...

During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

Whether the available structures of the monomeric forms of the SF1 enzymes bound to ssDNA–dsDNA junctions represent on-pathway intermediates in the DNA-unwinding reaction or autoinhibited ...

This drawing depicts a DNA molecule unwinding from a chromosome inside the nucleus of a cell. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

Figure 1: Mechanism of DNA replication in eukaryotes. A large multi-subunit protein complex, called replisome, coordinates DNA unwinding with DNA synthesis at the fork. Over 20 distinct proteins and ...

coli replication proteins and DNA templates carrying a single, site-specific cyclopyrimidine dimer (CPD) to analyze the events that occur after the replisome stalls. A major finding was that the ...

In his words, the DinG enzyme further enhances gene suppression by unwinding the DNA strands, allowing the system to exert its effect over a longer DNA sequence. This discovery opens doors to ...
