This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...
Now, new research in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology describes how the enzyme RapA prevents R-loop formation in E. coli, with far-reaching implications for how all cells mai ...
