Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

The RNA polymerase is responsible for the replication of viral genetic material and the activation of viral genes, and is essential for the replication of the virus in cells. It is therefore a ...

Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the pandemic risks posed by farming animals on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine ...

Technical advances have made it possible to produce reassortant strains between wild-type viruses (for their antigenic properties) and culture-adapted strains (for their replication properties).

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

This open configuration allows viral gene transcription, which leads to a high level of viral replication. Conversely, in the absence of HBx, host restriction factors such as HDAC1, PRMT1, and SIRT3 ...
