Scientists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, have uncovered a crucial trick used by enteroviruses—the group ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...
“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Scientists just cracked the trick enteroviruses use to hijack human cells — the same move behind polio, myocarditis, and the common cold
For decades, virologists knew that enteroviruses pulled a kind of bait-and-switch inside human cells, repurposing the cell’s ...
If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...
American scientists have discovered a hidden molecular mechanism that helps enteroviruses multiply in the human body. This ...
Proteins are the molecular workhorses of cells. To understand their functions, scientists soon realized that they had to figure out proteins’ shapes. But solving a protein structure is a challenging ...

A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
