The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after infection, according to a new study that may help tackle the pathogen.
Enzymes are involved in virtually every biological process that occurs throughout the body. This includes but is not limited to the following essential roles: ...
Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) is essential for cellular energy production and overall cell function.
A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a study published in Nature Communications.
A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study.
Researchers have discovered that the protein USP50 regulates DNA replication by managing which enzymes—nucleases or helicases—cleave or unwind DNA strands during replication.
