Researchers report that eight healthy babies were born with the help of an experimental technique that uses DNA from three ...

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

These sites are called "origins of replication" and are where the DNA first unwinds so that the duplication process can start.

Researchers have identified the mechanism used by the helicase ring to thread around and separate entwined DNA strands in the replication process.

The exact moment DNA starts to unravel has been seen by scientists for the first time, exposing a chemical process that is essential for DNA to be the molecule that codes for all life.

The cell controls the start of DNA replication in a two-step process. The whole goal of the process is to control the actions of a crucial enzyme—called a helicase—that unwinds the DNA double ...

Scientists have deciphered molecular-level details of the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins recognize and bind to DNA to start the DNA replication process. The research may ...

DNA replication is a complex process in which a helicase ring separates the DNA molecule's two entwined and encoded strands, allowing each to precisely reproduce its missing half. Researchers have ...

USC scientists find DNA replication begins when the double helix, caught in a vice of proteins, melts.

That process starts at defined DNA sites, so-called origins of replication. To find these areas of the genome, cells use a protein machine called the origin recognition complex, or ORC.

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
