DNA replication is the name given to this ... to explain molecular mechanisms through simple two-dimensional drawings or 'cartoons'. Such drawings are useful for consolidating large amounts ...

The findings visualize for the first time a molecular complex—called CTF18-RFC in humans and Ctf18-RFC in yeast—that loads a "clamp" onto DNA to keep parts of the replication machinery from ...

Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's ...
