DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...
A new study has revealed that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to ...
When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...
Top: Chromosome separate with functioning SMC in two models, line drawing and filled-space. The red and pink dots indicate, respectively, ori on each copy of DNA. Bottom: DNA separating without ...
Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a ...
