p53 is a unique DNA binding protein with two distinct DNA binding domains, the evolutionarily conserved central domain and the C-terminal basic DNA binding domain (BD domain). The presence of two ...

It's rare for a month to go by without some aspect of DNA sequencing making the headlines. Species after species has seen its genome completed, and the human genome, whether it's from healthy ...

In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA can also be found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria, and inside the cytoplasm in the form of plasma. DNA molecules consist of nucleotides ...

Termination of DNA replication occurs when two replication forks meet on the same stretch of DNA, during which the following events occur, although not necessarily in this order: forks converge until ...

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...

Chemists integrated computer functions into rolling DNA-based motors, opening a new realm of possibilities for miniature, molecular robots. These DNA-based motors combine computational power with the ...

Polycomb-repressive complexes (PRCs) play key roles in development by repressing a large number of genes involved in various functions. Much, however, remains to be discovered about PRC-silencing ...
