An international collaboration of researchers managed to identify the structure and mechanisms a protein uses to underly DNA replication. This process is critical to all lifeforms on Earth, experts say. When cells divide, each of the new copies needs to have the exact same genetic material as its precursor did. In ch... |

Molecular biologists and researchers at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) Department of Genetics and Microbiology, in Spain, have recently called into question the established belief that the earliest life forms on the planet appeared from self-catalytic molecules. They say that these structures are unable ... |

Molecular biologists have known for a long time that the DDK (Ddf4-dependent protein kinase) is one of the most important proteins in the human body, because it plays an important role in DNA replication. This is the process that allows us to multiply and evolve, and also to produce new cells each day. However, the e... |

Most viruses that are able to infect the human body, as well as other animals, require living cells in order to replicate and create more viral agents. However, they also need specific chemicals and proteins located inside these cells, without which their replication cycle cannot be started. Researchers have, for ins... |
