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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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

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

Staying a step ahead of the avian influenza virus with surveillance, testing and research could mean the difference between a ...
