Biochemists report discovery of structure of major piece of telomerase; implications for cancer
UCLA biochemists have determined the three-dimensional structure of a major domain of telomerase, the enzyme that helps maintain telomeres ?small pieces of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that act as protective caps -- allowing DNA ends to be copied completely when cells are replicated. This is the first major piece of telomerase for which the structure is known. Telomerase plays a key rol...UCR biochemist goes to Washington with high-protein corn
Daniel Gallie's findings propose a useful approach to feed the world's growing population Because his research holds promise for efficiently fee...Precision biochemistry tracks DNA damage in fish
Like coal-mine canaries, fish DNA can serve as a measure of the biological impact of water and sediment pollution--or pollution clean-up. That's one of the conclusions of a new study* by researchers from the Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the University of Maryland and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Research ov...HIV Volume 2 (Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Drug Discovery) from Promega
