Technically, Pol-theta is an enzyme—a type of protein that speeds up chemical reactions, including those related to cell ...

Enhancers can also work independently of one another to direct composite patterns of gene expression when linked within a common region on the same DNA strand. Upon carrying out their study ...

By using enzymes to remove the DNA, they would end up with their protein of interest. To keep the protein-DNA bonds stable, they used ultraviolet (UV) light, which induces crosslinks between proteins ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have now captured the first detailed images of the DNA repair protein, Pol-theta, in action, ...

For instance, to provide further proof that a protein-DNA binding interaction is unique, or specific to a particular sequence, researchers often perform a so-called competition assay. Such an ...

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.

A new structural blueprint paves the way for improved targeting of cancer cells, particularly those with BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a 20-DNA-letter long sequence that matches part of the guide RNA sequence.

Protein-protein interactions facilitate everything from transcribing DNA and controlling cell division ... tools can't capture a single structure or interaction. The researchers leveraged FragFold ...

DNA is the molecule that holds the instructions ... process by which specific genes are activated to produce a required protein. Cellular differentiation When cells express specific genes that ...

Successful research in targeted protein degradation depends not only on measurements at high sensitivity, speed and precision ...
