Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a ...
Investigators may have uncovered the general mechanism that governs RNA polymerase movement, they report in the January 28 issue of Cell. The finding "provides a framework for understanding how ...
Scientists are exploring how RNA might have jump-started life four billion years ago and how it's now advancing drug ...
DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...
These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...
Researchers have reconstructed transcription in human mitochondria in unprecedented detail, revealing potential drug targets ...
Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai LifeSciences, have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces ...
