How a crucial DNA repair protein works—and what it means for cancer treatment
DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers ...

Proteins at the Y-shaped DNA replication fork
In addition to the above group of core proteins, other proteins (not shown) are needed for DNA replication. These include a set of initiator proteins to begin each new replication fork at ...

Protein Synthesis
So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

The DNA Replication Checkpoint and Preserving Genomic Integrity During DNA Synthesis
Replication blockage is not only caused by DNA damage (Figure 1). Proteins bound on DNA also provide significant obstacles for DNA replication, as replication fork proteins can collide with them ...

DNA Replication
During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...
