Helicases are enzymes that unwind DNA and RNA. They're central to cellular life, implicated in a number of cancers and infections - and, alas, extraordinarily difficult to target with drugs. Now, new ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown function of the DDX11 helicase enzyme. Mutations in the gene which codes for DDX11 are known to be implicated in Warsaw Breakage Syndrome. They showed ...

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

Mutated Hrq1 and Pif1 helicase enzymes shown to work together to disrupt telomere maintenance and regulation of cell division. All strands of DNA have a non-coding region at the end of the strand ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Thanks to a single-molecule imaging technique developed by a University of Illinois professor, researchers have revealed the mechanisms of an important DNA-regulating enzyme.

In a recent study published in the PNAS Journal, researchers used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate a nonstructural protein essential in SARS-CoV-2 replication. They characterized the ...

The DNA of all organisms, be it bacteria or humans, is constantly bombarded with damage either by environmental mutagens such as the exposure to UV light or because of erroneous replication. The ...
