Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

Once transcription is initiated, the DNA double helix unwinds and RNA polymerase reads the template strand, adding nucleotides to the 3′ end of the growing chain (Figure 2b). At a temperature of ...

A league of scientists are calling for a critical discussion on the dangers of life forms made up of 'mirror-image molecules' ...

Choosing a film for a movie night is always a battle. Now imagine if you could pick one that provided a window into some of ...

A group of researchers from around the world, including those from the University of Michigan, have now employed ...

The cryo-EM structures of Webster and Weixlbaumer pinpointed an alternative pathway of mRNA delivery to the ribosome, via the tethering of RNA polymerase by the coupling transcription factor NusG ...

Using super-resolution microscopy, the Cissé lab previously discovered transcriptional condensates composed of RNA polymerase ...

Our mission is to elucidate fundamental mechanisms that control the elongation phase of transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in normal and disease states. We are particularly interested in ...

DNA polymerase enzymes facilitate this process, ensuring accurate copying of the genetic information. Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into a ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation ... by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region ...

Most hepatitis E infections in industrialized countries arise due to zoonotic genotypes three and four. These infections ...
