RO7589831, a new drug from Roche, is first in a new class of drugs called Werner helicase inhibitors Drug works similarly to other DNA damage repair inhibitors, such as PARP inhibitors This class of ...
Researchers use cryo-EM and optical tweezers to investigate how an antiviral interacts with the herpes simplex virus.
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) analog ATPγS often greatly slows or prevents enzymatic ATP hydrolysis. The eukaryotic CMG (Cdc45, Mcm2 to 7, GINS) replicative helicase is presumed unable to hydrolyze ...
CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...
March 21, 2012 (San Diego, California) — A novel helicase-primase inhibitor with antiviral activity against the varicella zoster virus might provide an alternative as potent as current treatments for ...
Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...
