DNA supply chain
Chemists discover how a single enzyme maintains a cell's pool of DNA building blocks.

Cell survival depends on having a plentiful and balanced pool of the four chemical building blocks that make up DNA -- the deoxyribonucleosides. However, if too many of these components pile up, or if their usual ratio is disrupted, that can be deadly for the cell.
