Cells are constantly subjected to DNA damage from a range of internal and environmental sources. It is estimated that cells ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

A new hereditary condition has been discovered that affects patients' ability to repair DNA—leaving them both at greater risk ...

Disrupting the G-loop cycle causes transcriptome dysregulation and genome instability, revealing key role in cell survival ...

Researchers at Northwestern University found that DNA strand separation may require more force than previously thought when modeled in a more true-to-life environment. In most labs, scientists ...

Therefore, cells need tools to untie these knots quickly ... "With the help of proteins known for their role in DNA repair, RNA binds to the DNA strand opposite the G4 structure, forming a ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the ...
