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 DNA ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

The repair of damage to genetic material (DNA) in the human body is carried out by highly efficient mechanisms that have not yet been fully researched. A scientific team has now discovered a ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS One, researchers present the crystal structure of an anti-non-structural protein 9 (nsp) specific nanobody in complex with the severe acute respiratory ...

A groundbreaking discovery regarding Mrc1 (Mediator of Replication Checkpoint 1) – a fission yeast protein involved in DNA replication – has been published in Cell. The discovery is the result of an ...

Both UAP56 and URH49, which form essential complexes for mRNA export, evolved from a common ancestral gene. However, the distinct roles that these complexes play, as well as the structural differences ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein synthesis right at the start. An international research team with significant ...
