RapA opens the RNA polymerase clamp to disrupt post-termination complexes and prevent cytotoxic R-loop formation. Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41594-024-01447-8 ...

When the preQ 1 molecule binds to the riboswitch it alters the shape of the RNA, which then allows the RNAP to once again continue along the DNA so that transcription continues.

Scientists have identified a toxin used by bacteria to kill others through a unique mechanism. It's the first found to directly target RNA in what the team describes as “a total assault on the ...

Cutting-edge centrifugation technology streamlines bacterial harvesting, DNA purification, and RNA synthesis for high-volume ...

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural ...

Our interest in transcription regulation is to understand the mechanism of transcription initiation by bacterial and archaeal RNA polymerases. Our primary focus in sensor research is to develop robust ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

Bacterial transcription is a production line of copying over genetic instructions from double stranded DNA to produce RNA, which is then used for the subsequent production of proteins that the ...
