A University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. This new structural and ...

Image quality often makes the difference between an amazing multimedia experience, like feeling immersed in a high-definition ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question.

Laser-induced alignment boosts single-particle imaging by improving molecular orientation, enabling clearer 3D structure ...

the researchers discovered one striking difference to other actin-like bacterial proteins -- its structure. Dr Julien Bergeron, Senior Lecturer in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular ...

RAD52 has already shown promise as a drug target. Inhibitors of the protein can selectively kill cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones, reducing the collateral damage typically caused by ...
