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 ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Replication ... DNA molecule, it continues breaking these hydrogen bonds and separating the two polynucleotide chains (Figure 1). Meanwhile, as the helicase separates the strands, another enzyme ...

During DNA replication ... bind to both enzymes. However, that requires us to understand the molecular architecture of DNA helicase. Coordination of DNA Unwinding and Replication is Essential ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

Using DNA subunits to create DNA-like superstructures, scientists think they’ve discovered how to turn DNA into enzymes. Scientists dive into the genomes of whales, elephants, and other animal giants ...

Then a third enzyme, "polymerase," joins the party by attaching to the primer, moving along with the growing strand and adding new letters to form another double helix. In DNA replication ...

Additionally, the scientists unexpectedly captured for the first time a detailed picture of how the "engine" driving the ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...
