View Entry | Structure of telomerase3459| Scientists recently discovered the full molecular structure of telomerase, an enzyme important to aging and cancer. Within each cell, telomerase maintains the telomeres, or end pieces, of a chromosome, preserving genetic data and extending the life of the cell. In their study, a team from UCLA and UC Berkeley found the subunit p50, shown in red, to be a keystone in the enzyme's structure and function.
