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.

"This work is a milestone in the application of DNA nanotechnology to regulate cell behavior," Liu says. The team works with giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are simple, cell-sized ...

It all works, and it saves a ton of money that can be put into the things that make more sense to buy, like fluorescent DNA stain for visualizing the bands; we’re heartened to see that the ...
