Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...
DNA replication initiation requires local melting of fully base-paired DNA for a helicase to gain a foothold and initiate processive DNA unwinding. In eukaryotes and archaea, the helicase engine is ...
DNA replication in eukaryotes is a highly orchestrated process that ensures precise genome duplication before cell division. Initiation occurs at multiple replication origins that are licensed in G1 ...
