Current evidence suggests that many helicases unwind DNA by facilitating the destabilization ... molecules hydrolysed per base pair unwound or nucleotide translocated. Although this has sometimes ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

the helix structure is unwound special molecules break the weak hydrogen bonds between bases, which are holding the two strands together this process occurs at several locations on a DNA molecule ...

Researchers have uncovered a source of "replication stress" during DNA replication, shedding light on a new cancer target.

There are three billion (3,000,000,000) base pairs in the DNA code within each cell. If unwound and tied together, the strands of DNA in one cell would stretch almost six feet but would be only 50 ...
