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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication ... primase), the enzyme responsible for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Replication is blocked in bulk phase. We used DNA tethering combined with active voltage control, in which finite state machine (FSM) logic was implemented on a field programmable gate array 4 ...

such as cell replication or repair. Single-stranded DNA is also used in many technologies (sequencing, gene editing, molecular diagnostics, nanotechnology). To date, no endonuclease – enzyme ...

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 ...

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 ...
