Motorized Processes Impact Chromosome Structure and Cellular Functions

Researchers at Rice University have uncovered the role of motorized processes in shaping chromosome structure and cellular functions. Led by Professor Peter Wolynes, the study introduces swimming and grappling motors, shedding light on how these proteins impact chromosome organization. The research highlights the crucial role of motor proteins in maintaining chromosome integrity and reveals how these proteins influence chromosome architecture during interphase.
