The process of DNA replication relies on the coordinated action of a ring‐shaped sliding clamp and its specialised loader complexes. Sliding clamps, typified by proliferating cell nuclear antigen ...

Escherichia coli replicates its genome through a finely tuned ensemble of proteins that assemble at the replication fork to form the replisome. Central to this machinery are the DNA polymerase III ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
