Illuminating a critical step in DNA replication

Posted by daviskd2 on Friday, March 22, 2024 in News.

Brandt Eichman (Biological Sciences) and Walter Chazin (Biochemistry and Chemistry) recently visualized a multi-functional protein in action using the state-of-the-art CSB Cryo-EM Facility. The findings, recently published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, shed light on how DNA replication is initiated in humans.

Read their reflections on this critical research in this Q&A with the Basic Sciences Communications Team.
