    DNA Replication

    Study shows the effect of ‘reverse antibiotic’ on gram-negative bacteria

    Researchers from Skoltech and MSU have investigated antibiotic nybomycin that could prove effective against bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. Their research was published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. All bacterial cells contain topoisomerases, a significant group of enzymes that help deal with spatial problems stemming from bacterial cell division related to circular DNA

    Helicase: The Molecular Motor of DNA Replication

    Although copying the blueprint is extremely complex, perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of this process is the need for the instruction to be copied. Without the copier we wouldn’t be able to learn, think, or even perceive the world in the same way. DNA tells cells how to build structure and execute functions in the
