So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

How would you identify the protein that serves as a connector ... Therefore, the second rule in DNA replication is that DNA unwinding and DNA synthesis have to be coordinated.

Despite some drawbacks, this book provides a broad and current synthesis of our understanding of genome duplication and it should be on the bookshelves of all students of DNA replication.

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 ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

DNA replication is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself ... RNA polymerase enzymes read the DNA sequence and synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which carry the ...

The team initially set out to study another replication machinery protein, single-stranded DNA-binding protein, and its interaction with DNA polymerase. However, they first needed to establish how the ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

To understand this unexpected behavior, the authors pharmacologically inhibited pyrimidine synthesis in cancer cells that were growing in a high-glucose medium. They observed that these cells were ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their own protein ... and form large DNA-filled replication compartments.
