Dirk Remus: Research Overview
Intriguingly, several replisome components, such as subunits of the DNA helicase and DNA polymerases, exhibit histone chaperone activity that is important for the normal segregation of parental ...

RNA polymerase
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription. As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA ...
STAG2 protein mutations and associated spatial alteration of DNA structure can contribute to development of leukemia
It helps to properly fold the DNA and thus regulate gene activity. Cohesin contains two very similar subunits, STAG1 or STAG2 ...

Polymer editing can upcycle waste into higher-performance plastics
Similarly, in 2020, the prize went to developers of CRISPR, "genetic scissors" for editing DNA strands, biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. The ORNL researchers ...
