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 ...

近日，兰州大学动物医学与生物安全学院/中国农业科学院兰州兽医研究所联合中国科学院生物物理研究所在《Nature Communications》期刊发表题为“Structural basis of RNA polymerase complexes in ...

During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While ...

Eukaryotes transcribe much of their genomes, but little is known about the fidelity of transcriptional initiation by RNA polymerase II in vivo.I suggest that ∼ 90% of Pol II initiation events in ...

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

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 ...

The plan lists six anti-influenza drugs available in China, including oseltamivir, peramivir and zanamivir. It adds marbaloxavir and favipiravir while removing amantadine and rimantadine.

Many of the most devastating infectious diseases are caused by RNA viruses, and Model Medicines is working on one compound to ...

Researchers at Rockefeller University have discovered a new mechanism for maintaining genome stability in bacteria. This ...

Northwestern scientists have adapted a sensing platform to detect and even measure chemicals at low enough concentrations to ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the ...
