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 ...

we've uncovered the most common fault in DNA replication by far, which we didn't even start out looking for! More surprising still is that a single enzyme is so crucial to repairing over a million ...

A new study shows that the TLK1 and TLK2 enzymes are critical for ... During cell growth, cells copy their DNA through a process called DNA replication. For this process to be accurate, the ...

Researchers have discovered an enzyme ... with DNA damage, such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Fortunately, the body has a natural way of repairing DNA harmed through the replication ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications ...

In this study we show that most chromatin-modifying enzymes ... Figure 4: Heterochromatin proteins are found in proximity to nascent DNA in defined order following replication.

Rather than wait for highly accurate DNA polymerase enzymes, the cell may call on ... yeast cells produce far more replication errors than would have been expected. These errors, which occurred ...

Loss of TLK1 and TLK2 results in extensive DNA damage during DNA replication ... identified a key role for the TLK1 and TLK2 enzymes in DNA replication. "We demonstrated that TLK activity is ...
