Medical News Today - Biochemists report discovery of structure of major piece of telomerase; implications for cancer

Medical News Today - Biochemists report discovery of structure of major piece of telomerase; implications for cancer:
"UCLA biochemists have determined the three-dimensional structure of a major domain of telomerase, the enzyme that helps maintain telomeres - small pieces of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that act as protective caps -- allowing DNA ends to be copied completely when cells are replicated."
