Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...
Study uncovers key insights about how a new class of antiviral drugs works. Cryo-EM images showed the drugs bound to herpes simplex virus (HSV) protein at nearly atomic detail, while optical tweezers ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...
Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...
