DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) participate in nonhomologous end joining and base excision repair, respectively, and are key determinants of radio ...

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

It follows a previous report showing that the Werner syndrome protein WRN and its interacting protein WRNIP1 are indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) by Y-family DNA polymerases (Pols).

However, DNA polymerase cannot begin forming this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added.

RNA polymerase in action. The three stages of transcription involve various functions of RNA polymerase that result in the synthesis of RNA: 1. Initiation begins when RNA polymerase wraps around the ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...
