New research adds to our understanding of the function of the human genome. An international team of researchers has made ...

Sequence motifs are short, recurring patterns in DNA that are presumed to have a biological function. Often they indicate sequence-specific binding sites for proteins such as nucleases and ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled ...

Computational pipeline SPICE systematically screens and predicts novel protein-protein binding complexes including the previously unrecognized global association and functional cooperation between ...

DNA’s iconic double helix has long been the symbol of life’s blueprint. However, the human genome conceals far more ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an ...

Thus, we have the structure of a genuine catalytic intermediate. Within the NTase domain is an adenylate binding pocket composed of the six peptide motifs (I, Ia, III, IIIa, IV, and V) that define the ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute IPK has investigated ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...
