RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription. As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA ...

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 ...

The RNA polymerase is responsible for the replication of viral genetic material and the activation of viral genes, and is ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

Although several vaccines and drugs are available against SARS-CoV-2, the search for effective therapeutic agents for COVID-19 and future zoonotic coronaviruses continues. The RNA-dependent RNA ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

This unwinding of the helix is caused by an enzyme (helicase enzyme). The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA ...

There are a variety of different types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is responsible for creating messenger RNA (mRNA), which is the main ...
