In prokaryotes, DNA replication initiates at a single defined origin and proceeds bidirectionally via a multiprotein replisome that unwinds the duplex and synthesises new strands. Elongation is ...
Eukaryotic chromosomes replicate from multiple discrete loci termed origins of replication. These sites are first recognised by the origin recognition complex (ORC), which, together with Cdc6 and Cdt1 ...
Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...
