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 ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

Because infected host cells ordinarily lack RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity, these RNA viruses encode a replicative polymerase essential for the production of progeny. Such virally ...

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

This enables the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the ribosome to coordinate their functions and work together efficiently directly. Bacteria are the most well-understood prokaryotes, and due to their ...

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on ...

The following is a summary of “Remdesivir is active in vitro against tick-borne encephalitis virus and selects for resistance mutations in the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase,” published in the ...

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 ...
