Every second, as we breathe, sleep, eat and go about our lives, millions of biochemical reactions are happening in our cells. Among the hurly burly of chemical exchanges are ones that attach small ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

The upper right portion illustrates viral nucleosome-like particles formed by co-occurring viral histone triplets and singlets. On the lower right, a network depicts distinct types of viral ...

Histones are perhaps more intimately linked with DNA than any other protein. Transcriptional regulation, recombination, repair, and replication--basically anything that happens to the DNA--must happen ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

Genes make up the blueprints and outline the process of building every living organism. To ensure that the right genes are activated in the right cells, and in the right amounts at the right time, ...
