What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

"They're wriggling around in there, and the mechanics of what they do is very important for understanding how DNA replication works or developing drugs to target a certain mechanism," Hall said.

Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...
