A scientific team says it has pinpointed the crucial steps in the beginning of the DNA replication process, including surprising structural details about the enzyme that unzips and splits the double ...

Exactly how does the DNA replication process start? USC scientists provide the first snapshot of how double-helix DNA begins to unwind and replicate after certain proteins put on the “squeeze.” A ring ...

A team has published pictures at very high atomic resolution of the multi-part protein complex that performs the very first step in the incredibly complex genome-replication dance that occurs when one ...

Cancer is caused by the growth of an abnormal cell which harbours DNA mutations, "copy errors" occurring during the DNA replication process. If these errors do take place quite regularly without ...

Researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research believe they have identified a weak spot in the replication process of positive-strand RNA viruses, which could yield treatment for viral infections ...

High-resolution images provide clarity into how viral proteins are separated by a protease, an important step during virus replication that is targeted by an approved COVID-19 drug. UNIVERSITY PARK, ...
