This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

In the fall of 2014, a new Leica SP8 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope came on line which was funded by a NSF-MRI grant to Larissa Williams, Matt Cote, Nancy Kleckner, and Travis Gould. As part of a ...

The achievement is not only a milestone in helicase research, but also a milestone in observing the dynamics of any enzyme at atomic resolution. While scientists have long known the importance of ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy and deep learning to observe the helicase Simian Virus 40 Large Tumor Antigen interacting with DNA, the laboratories of KAUST Assistant Professor Alfredo De Biasio ...

Their work, published in Nature, focuses on proteins called helicases, which act as molecular motors to separate the two strands of DNA before cell division. What’s surprising isn’t just that ...
