The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...
Scientists develop DNA nanorobots capable of modifying artificial cells. Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have successfully used "DNA origami" to control the structure and function of ...
The cause, they find, may be natural proteins of the immune system that normally target viruses by damaging their DNA. The proteins are called Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic proteins ...
"Missense" mutations — changes in a DNA sequence that swap one amino ... it's not entirely clear how these mutations affect the structure and function of proteins and thus cause disease.
