Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...
The latest short science news items from C&EN. Ting F. Zhu, who led the work, says it is a step on the way to creating a mirror version of the so-called central dogma of molecular biology, which ...
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, carries genetic information in the chromosomes of cell nuclei and in mitochondria. DNA is a double helix composed of two long, coiled strands of polynucleotide chains.
As expected, accuracy also depended on whether the DNA polymerase retains a 'proofreading' functionality, which verifies (and if necessary removes) any mismatched nucleotides: a version of the enzyme ...
Outcome of Infants Younger Than 1 Year With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treated With the Interfant-06 Protocol: Results From an International Phase III Randomized Study The DNA damage response (DDR) ...
In the latest shake-up for scientific dogma, research has demonstrated that eukaryotic cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA, through a misunderstood, ‘error-prone’ polymerase. Historically, ...
This paper describes a novel biochemical effect of gramicidin, a class of peptide antibiotics produced by Bacillus brevis during the transition from vegetative growth to sporulation. Gramicidin ...
