A research team led by Professor Dr. Niels Gehring from the Institute for Genetics has shown that the coordinated interaction ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

For the first time, scientists at the Morgridge Institute for Research have generated near atomic resolution images of a major viral protein complex responsible for replicating the RNA genome of a ...

In an ambitious collaboration, researchers added 1.8 million high-confidence protein complex structure predictions to the ...

The avian influenza virus needs to mutate to cross the species barrier and to infect and replicate within mammalian cells. Scientists have now deciphered the structure of the avian influenza virus's ...

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 ...

DNA replication begins with a set of proteins -- the Origin of Replication Complex (ORC). Researchers published images of the human ORC in exquisite detail, showing how it changes shapes in dramatic ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS One, researchers present the crystal structure of an anti-non-structural protein 9 (nsp) specific nanobody in complex with the severe acute respiratory ...

Patients with this genetic disorder have a form of dwarfism — they are short in stature and have underdeveloped ears and ...
