Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

Researchers developed a computer simulation that rapidly and accurately predicts how proteins shift their shapes, potentially advancing drug design and protein engineering.

Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
