Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 38 (September 22, 2020), pp. 23571-23580 (10 pages) DNA replication requires the sliding clamp, a ...

An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed for the first time, report scientists at Penn State University. The scientists say they’ve discovered how a key step in human ...

Structures of the clamp loader–clamp complex reveal that nature uses machined parts in the form of a spiral scaffold (the clamp loader) to thread a circlet (the clamp) on a helix of DNA. The scaffold ...

Crystal structures of the Escherichia coli DNA replication γ clamp loading complex and of a subunit of the clamp loader bound to a β clamp monomer provide a physical framework in which to view ...

An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed, for the first time, by scientists. The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had ...

According to senior author Stephen J. Benkovic, an Evan Pugh Professor of Chemistry and Holder of the Eberly Family Chair in Chemistry at Penn State, the scientists "discovered how a key step in human ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

For the first time, an elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been demystified by scientists at Penn State University. According to senior author Stephen J. Benkovic, an Evan Pugh ...
