– Data from both ABI-5366 and ABI-1179, novel long-acting helicase-primase inhibitor candidates for recurrent genital herpes, to be presented – – Poster presentation highlights key preclinical data ...

Researchers have identified the mechanism used by the helicase ring to thread around and separate entwined DNA strands in the replication process. DNA replication is a complex process in which a ...

NS3 is an enzyme specific to the hepatitis C virus. If developed, a drug capable of recognizing and selectively attacking it could fight the disease without side effects for the body. However, to be ...

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 ...

This movie shows the helicase protein complex from all angles, and reveals how its shape changes back and forth between two forms. The research team hypothesizes that the rocking action of this ...

The RNA helicase DDX3X spends its days unwinding RNA:RNA duplexes and binding key mediators of RNA metabolism. A regulator of RNA transcription, splicing, nuclear export, and translation, DDX3X plays ...

In a recent study published in the PNAS Journal, researchers used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate a nonstructural protein essential in SARS-CoV-2 replication. They characterized the ...

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 ...

NEW YORK, February 26, 2019 - DNA replication is a complex process in which a helicase ring separates the DNA molecule's two entwined and encoded strands, allowing each to precisely reproduce its ...
