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 ...

University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ...

This enables the RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the ribosome to coordinate their functions and work together efficiently directly.

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 ...

This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on the DNA and initiates the synthesis of the complementary RNA strand. The resulting primary ...

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 manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

RT–PCR is a variation of PCR, or polymerase chain reaction. The two techniques use the same process except that RT–PCR has an added step of reverse transcription of RNA to DNA, or RT, to allow for ...

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 ...
