After decades of mystery, scientists have finally figured out the structure of a key herpes virus protein that is vital for ...

The first step in DNA replication requires the assembly of a group of proteins called the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). Researchers have determined how the ORC assembles during the cell division ...

Breakthrough cryo-EM structures expose multiple drug targets in an essential HSV-1 replication protein.An international research team has determined ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

The complex appears to reel in the DNA around the mismatch as well, marking and protecting the DNA region until repair can occur. "Due to the mobility of these proteins, current thinking envisioned ...
