When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

The replication of the bacterial chromosome is initiated at oriC where the initiator protein DnaA binds to start the assembly of the enzymatic replisome machine 1. The early stages of this process ...

Scientists have deciphered molecular-level details of the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins recognize and bind to DNA to start the DNA replication process. The research may ...

Researchers have demonstrated how bacteria coordinate cell division with the replication of their genetic material. In an interdisciplinary study they explain why the current concept of the bacterial ...

Jeff Errington receives funding from the Wellcome Trust and the European Research Council. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the 17th-century Dutch scientist, was the first person to see single-celled ...
