In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...
The left-handed spiral of each Z-DNA strand is highlighted on the left. Binding and bonding of the two zinc finger domains (shown in red) from the CTCF protein to Z-DNA (shown in blue). This protein ...
New research shows that the nuclease domain of the E. coli RecBCD helicase plays a key role in regulating DNA binding and the extent of base pair melting during double-strand break repair. Deleting ...
When NIN forms a dimer and binds to DNA, the FR (yellow region) enhances dimer stability (upper). Lotus japonicus roots infected with rhizobia expressing GFP (lower). Tsukuba, Japan—Some plants, such ...
