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 ...

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 ...

RNA synthesis, or transcription, is the process by which RNA is produced using DNA as a template. This process is carried out by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which binds to specific promoter regions on ...

RNA vaccines are a new class of vaccines that are composed of an mRNA sequence coding for a pathogen-specific protein (antigen). Once expressed in the body, the target antigen is recognized by the ...

The nomenclature of different promoter-associated RNA polymerase II (Pol II) species is explicitly defined in an effort to provide consistency in future literature. The known mechanistic features ...

structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is a key part of the virus’s replication machinery that makes copies of its RNA genome (Science 2020 10.1126/science.abb7498).

PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is a revolutionary method that is used to amplify specific segments of DNA or RNA. This method was developed by Kary Mullis in the 1980s. Kary Mullis received the ...

Figure 1: Antibodies to β-actin inhibit RNA polymerase II transcription in vivo. Figure 2: Antibodies to β-actin inhibit RNA polymerase II transcription in vitro. Figure 3: β-actin is ...

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR ... PCR testing allows researchers to make many copies of a small section of DNA or RNA, in a process that some call “molecular photocopying.” ...

In the early 1990s, direct injection of nucleic acids (RNA or DNA) into the muscles of mice led to in vivo expression of proteins encoded by the injected nucleic acid. 1 This finding, together ...
