Farnung studies the structure and function of the molecular machines responsible ... We are especially interested in visualizing the process of how a molecular machine called RNA polymerase II gains ...

Simon Claringbold picked and ate wild mushrooms from his garden. Days later, he thought he was taking his last breath.

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

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after infection, according to a new study that may help tackle the pathogen.

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

The structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex elucidated using cryoelectron microscopy.

As infection progresses, replication promoting cues, with the binding of newly produced viral polymerase and spliced NS2 protein forming a barrel-like hexamer, thereby decreasing the association of ...

The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) elongation rate influences poly(A) site selection, with slow and fast Pol II derivatives causing upstream and downst ...

This article describes the three types of RNA polymerase (RNAP), the enzyme responsible for transcription in eukaryotic cells.

Editor's evaluation This important study employs auxin-induced degradation to provide compelling evidence that the TATA-binding protein (TBP) is not required for ongoing RNA polymerase II ...
