The Rockefeller University » With tiny technological tweezers, researchers uncover new aspects of cell division
CMG helicase (grey) forms a ring that surrounds DNA and “unzips” the molecule as it slides along its length. The body’s cells are constantly dividing—which, somewhat counterintuitively, means that they’re constantly multiplying. Because when a cell divides it doesn’t split into two useless halves, but rather into two fully functional cells. For this scheme …
