Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) polymerase is an intermediary enzyme responsible for processing gene sequences into RNA-based genetic material that can be utilized in protein synthesis. In this article, we ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

An RNA polymerase II molecule is about 15 nanometers across, or roughly 5,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. This image was created by reconstructing X-ray diffraction crystallography ...

Image Credit: tigerder/Shutterstock RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a key enzyme for SARS-CoV-2 genomic replication and transcription and, thus, for viral replication.

CleanScribe RNA Polymerase provides researchers with a simple way to significantly reduce dsRNA in their IVT without compromising other important mRNA quality attributes.

The researchers found that using a drug to inhibit RNA Polymerase 1 (Pol 1) - the enzyme responsible for human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription - triggered a unique stress response that rewires ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Although DNA editing has been celebrated for its potential to create new drugs, a relatively unsung alternative, RNA editing, may end up stealing the show.

The researchers have now created a mirror version of T7 RNA polymerase, a highly efficient enzyme that uses more convenient double-stranded mirror DNA templates.

The world is absolutely teeming with viruses. | To find RNA viruses hiding in genomic “dark matter,” researchers took advantage of one thing they all have in common: the RNA polymerase enzyme.

The Hindu explains how while most organisms prefer DNA over RNA, its chemical cousin, to store genetic information, many disease-causing viruses have benefited from having RNA as a genetic material.
