For all species, the process of DNA replication requires the use of multiple different DNA polymerase enzymes.

During cell growth, cells copy their DNA through a process called DNA replication. For this process to be accurate, the genetic and epigenetic information must be copied flawlessly. In this regard ...

DNA topoisomerases are the magicians of the DNA world — by allowing DNA strands or double helices to pass through each other, they can solve all of the topological problems of DNA in replication ...

The importance of targeting toposimerase II (TOP2) for the treatment of cancer is not a new concept; however, understanding of the biological functions of this enzyme has lagged behind the use of ...

The enzymes that handle DNA molecules are often called "polymerases," but the - ase suffix denotes an enzyme. When not undergoing replication, DNA molecules float freely within the cytoplasm of a ...

After decades of speculation, researchers have demonstrated that a classical DNA repair enzyme also binds to RNA, affecting blood cell development.

DNA replication is a basic function of living organisms, allowing cells to divide and multiply, all while maintaining the genetic code and proper function of the original cell. The process, or ...

Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

T7-ORACLE reflects Schultz's broader goal: to rebuild key biological processes—such as DNA replication, RNA transcription and protein translation—so they function independently of the host cell.

During cell growth, cells copy their DNA through a process called DNA replication. For this process to be accurate, the genetic and epigenetic information must be copied flawlessly. In this regard ...
