The extent of heat-induced inhibition of DNA replication in HeLa cells was assayed at temperatures between 43 and 48°C. During hyperthermic exposure replicon initiation, as well as elongation of ...

DNA-binding proteins are proteins that bind to single- or double-stranded DNA, generally in the major groove if the binding is sequence-specific – as with transcription factors that regulate ...

The Chicago-born researcher received the 1962 Nobel Prize alongside Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. James Watson, one of three scientists credited with discovery DNA's double-helix structure, has ...
