Semiconservative replication was not the only model of DNA replication proposed during the mid-1950s, however. In fact, two other prominent hypotheses were put also forth: conservative replication ...

Saccharin destabilizes bacterial membranes and interferes with DNA replication, causing lysis and impairing virulence traits.

The effect of saccharin on the microbiome has received much attention, but its impact on pathogenic bacterial species is less ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes ... period was during exonuclease repair or DNA extension. “This experiment is really the nail in the coffin of this ...

Additionally, the scientists unexpectedly captured for the first time a detailed picture of how the "engine" driving the cellular replication machinery moves along DNA in human cells. Their ...
