    VDJML: a file format with tools for capturing the results of inferring immune receptor rearrangements

    The genes that produce antibodies and the immune receptors expressed on lymphocytes are not germline encoded; rather, they are somatically generated in each develo** lymphocyte by a process called V(D)J reco...

    DNA synthesis provides the driving force to accelerate DNA unwinding by a helicase

    Helicases are molecular motors that use the energy of nucleoside 5′-triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis to translocate along a nucleic acid strand and catalyse reactions such as DNA unwinding. The ring-shaped helicase1

    A Brownian motor mechanism of translocation and strand separation by hepatitis C virus helicase

    Helicases translocate along their nucleic acid substrates using the energy of ATP hydrolysis and by changing conformations of their nucleic acid–binding sites. Our goal is to characterize the conformational ch...
