When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Centre have achieved a breakthrough in understanding DNA gyrase, a vital bacterial enzyme and key antibiotic ...

During the process of bacterial DNA replication, DNA Polymerase, which catalyze the synthesis of DNA, plays an indispensable role. In order to keep DNA Polymerase III sliding along, a protein complex ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Red arrows indicate the DNA repair pathways that are known to aid bacterial survival as persisters and gamblers in the presence of fluoroquinolones. Blue color arrow indicates downregulation, while ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

BERKELEY, CA -The molecular machinery that starts the process by which a biological cell divides into two identical daughter cells apparently worked so well early on that evolution has conserved it ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...
