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

Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed ...

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 ...

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

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

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 ...

Telomir Pharmaceuticals Announces Telomir-1 Resets the Body’s Epigenetic Clock, Reverses DNA Methylation, and Restores Youthful Gene Regulation in an Ultra-Rare Accelerated Aging Animal Model of ...

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 ...

NASA engineer turned YouTuber Mark Rober has teamed up with scientists from California’s Salk Institute and Brigham Young University to create the smallest ‘Nerf Gun’ models in history, one ...

"Our model suggests that by repairing cryptic DNA damage before replication is triggered, certain aspects of aging could perhaps be avoided.
