Originally established in 1970 as the Biology Council, HELICASE is the new name for the biology student club. HELICASE serves variety of functions, most important of which is facilitating greater ...

How would you identify the protein that serves as a connector between DNA helicase and pol-a/primase? A simple yet often effective approach is to find proteins that directly bind to both enzymes.

Explanation: DNA helicase is an enzyme that unzips a strand of DNA down the middle. Your genes are made of DNA strands. Genes sounds a lot like jeans — an item of clothing that is typically ...

The team's novel bioengineering involves combining a helicase, which is an enzyme that naturally "unzips" DNA, with a gene-editing enzyme. They then use the gene-editing technology CRISPR-Cas9 to ...

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...

Meanwhile, as the helicase separates the strands, another enzyme called primase briefly attaches to each strand and assembles a foundation at which replication can begin. This foundation is a ...
