Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication is essential for mitochondrial function. This is carried out by a dedicated DNA polymerase gamma, with 5’–3’ polymerase and 3’–5’ proofreading/ exonuclease ...

RNA Polymerase III (Pol III): An enzyme that synthesizes RNA from a DNA template, specifically transcribing small non-coding RNAs. Isoforms: Different forms of a protein that arise from the same ...

Attribution (BY): Credit must be given to the creator. Endonuclease III (EndoIII), a key enzyme in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, contains a [4Fe4S] cluster that facilitates DNA repair ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

DNA nanorobots can alter artificial cells Date: January 13, 2025 Source: Universitaet Stuttgart Summary: Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

This valuable work examines the role of the oxidoreductase MftG in Mycolicibacerium smegmatis alcohol metabolism. A solid set of data is presented to show that, in the context of ethanol metabolism, ...

A 2015 report published by a private genomics testing company found that 2% of 345 hot dogs tested contained traces of human DNA. However, it was unclear whether that report was a peer-reviewed ...
