A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a study published in Nature Communications.

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Artios, have identified how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ), becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers, if the ...

Genome-wide studies of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) suggest that the evolutionary conserved enzyme Pfh1 helicase facilitates DNA synthesis by tracking along with the replication ...

Published in Science Advances, the study shows that the TLK1 and TLK2 enzymes are critical for ensuring the copying of DNA.

Chromatin marks have to be re-established after DNA replication. Here Petruk et al. show that many histone-modifying enzymes are found in close proximity to newly replicated DNA in cells of ...

The precision of DNA replication is not merely a matter of chance; it’s a well-coordinated dance between various proteins and enzymes.

The proteins that drive DNA replication—the force behind cellular growth and reproduction—are some of the most complex machines on Earth. The multistep replication process involves hundreds of ...

A new study shows that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a vital role in protecting the developing brain from harmful ...

A new study shows that the TLK1 and TLK2 enzymes are critical for ensuring the copying of DNA. The research is based on previous studies that pointed to TLK1/2 as potential candidate targets in ...
