The process of DNA replication is highly conserved throughout evolution. Investigating the replication machinery in simple organisms has helped tremendously to understand how the process works in ...

the helix structure is unwound special molecules break the weak hydrogen bonds between bases, which are holding the two strands together this process occurs at several locations on a DNA molecule ...

Here we report the structure of an engineered replication terminator protein (RTP) of Bacillus subtilis in complex with a 21 base pair DNA by X-ray crystallography at 2.5 Å resolution.
