For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

This study reveals how SV40 helicase unwinds DNA, highlighting ATP hydrolysis's role in translocation and offering insights ...

As previously mentioned, the location at which a DNA strand begins to unwind into two separate single strands is known as the origin of replication. As shown in Figure 1, when the double helix ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

While scientists have long known the importance of helicase in DNA replication ... must first unwind and break the DNA from a double strand into two single strands. Upon binding, helicases ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

By knocking out TEFM, they observed a notable reduction in mtDNA copy number, alongside a decrease in 7S DNA levels and strand-asynchronous replication intermediates. These findings suggest that ...

During cell division, the familiar double-stranded DNA helix gets split into two single strands, and the cell's replication machinery moves along these single strands like a monorail, explains ...
