Researchers reveal how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements. The findings not only provide novel insights into this fundamental biological mechanism but also have potential practical applications.

Picture in your mind a traditional "landline" telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic material in ...

Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-em), researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University, and the John Innes Centre uncovered unprecedented detail of gyrase’s action on ...

Scientists reveal how a 'molecular machine' in bacterial cells prevents fatal DNA twisting, which could be crucial in the development of new antibiotic treatments. DNA replication is vital to all ...
