The first section of the book, Cellular DNA Replication, begins with an excellent overview of genome duplication by Thomas J. Kelly and Bruce Stillman, followed by chapters on specific steps in ...

During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

Bacterial DNA viruses, such as the E. coli bacteriophages T4, T6, T7, and T3, encode their own ATP-dependent DNA ligases. ATP-dependent DNA ligases are also encoded by eukaryotic DNA viruses that ...

1). We have used replication systems reconstituted with purified E. coli replication proteins and DNA templates carrying a single, site-specific cyclopyrimidine dimer (CPD) to analyze the events that ...

She has studied how the pathogenic bacterium Escherichia coli reacts when exposed to ... When the bacterium is about to divide, it ensures that DNA replication occurs in a safe and orderly manner.

DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical ...

“It’s a different way of thinking about replication that raises new questions ... The researchers watched replicating DNA from E. coli bacteria. The first step in the process always ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...
