The protein UBR7 acts as a histone chaperone, regulating histone re-deposition at specific sites during DNA replication, according a recent study published in The EMBO Journal. This protein was ...
The tight wrapping of genomic DNA around nucleosomes in the cell nucleus makes it unavailable for gene expression. A team of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich now describes a mechanism ...
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...
Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Research: Alcohol's DNA Damage and Cellular Defense Revealed
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...
DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...
For the first time, scientists have captured the exact moment DNA begins to unravel, shedding light on a fundamental chemical process that enables DNA to serve as the blueprint for life. A recent ...
Viruses are ancient. They have been infecting animals, our ancestors included, for hundreds of millions of years before the first humans ever showed up. And the legacy of those primordial infections ...
For the first time, the structure of a DNA enzyme complex implicated in infertility and cancer has been obtained using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). A collaboration of researchers, led by ...

Scientists find key protein problem behind dangerous telomere diseases
Researchers uncover a crucial hidden function of the protein RPA, revealing how its failure to activate telomerase leads to dangerous telomere-related diseases. The discovery opens new diagnostic ...
Alumnus Paul Berg, then a Stanford University professor, shared the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Walter Gilbert and Frederick Sanger for their contributions to the understanding of recombinant ...
