Nucleotide excision repair is a process that repairs damage to one strand of the DNA, particularly from UV irradiation, which distorts the DNA helix. The DNA flanking the damage site is cleaved to ...

Viruses and their hosts—whether bacteria, animals, or humans—are locked in a constant evolutionary arms race. Cells evolve ...

Nucleotide-binding proteins are proteins that bind to nucleotides. For example, kinases bind adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and G proteins bind guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Other nucleotide-binding ...

The most diverse functions of a cell in the human body – from cell division and differentiation to motility and programmed cell death – are controlled by signaling proteins within the cell. This ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's ...

This study provides useful insights into addressing the question of whether the prevalence of autoimmune disease could be driven by sex differences in the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire, correlating ...

Two mutated alleles of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene result in the autosomal recessive ...

Space communications expert, Alexandra Doten, has explained what the discovery of a gum-like substance on an asteroid 63 ...
