Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Structural biologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison today published cryo-electron microscopy structures of the complete bacterial DNA replication restart complex — a molecular machine that le ...

Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

Replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei integrate multiple features previously described individually in opisthokonts, revealing a unified structural topology built from strand-specific nucleotide ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

DNA is more than just a code—it’s a beautifully precise molecular structure that holds life’s instructions. Understanding its building blocks, base pairing rules, and replication fidelity helps us ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
