There are no effective antivirals against BK polyomavirus in transplanted kidneys. A better understanding of its replication will offer new ways to protect those kidneys. BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is ...

New model captures the erratic speed of DNA copying proteins in bacteria A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on ...

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

A new model of DNA flexibility has been developed by Kim López-Güell, a Maths4Life student, together with Dr. Federica Battistini, under the supervision of Dr. Modesto Orozco in the Molecular ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

A new model developed at Tel Aviv University offers a possible solution to the scientific question of why neutral sequences, sometimes referred to as "junk DNA," are not eliminated from the genome ...

But it's important to show the mechanisms of these helicases, because they're essential for DNA replication, and also possible drug targets." Yang Gao, Assistant Professor, Biosciences, Rice ...

In DNA synthesis in vitro, mediated by the phage-induced polymerases, there is relatively limited replication — that is, replication appears to continue only until a single-stranded template is ...
