(Un nou descobriment sobre l’evolució del DNA)
Un equip internacional d’investigadors liderat per Eduard Torrents de l’Intitut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya (IBEC), ubicat al Parc Científic de Barcelona, i Britt-Marie Sjöberg del Departament de Biologia Molecular i Genòmica Funcional de la Universitat d’Estocolm, en col·laboració amb científics de la Universitat de Western Ontario de Canadà, ha descobert com la síntesi d’algunes molècules precursores del DNA podria haver-se desenvolupat al llarg de l’evolució.
El treball, que s’ha publicat a l’edició electrònica de la revista Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), es basa en l’estudi de l’enzim responsable de la síntesi d’aquestes molècules en un virus bacterià.
