New Publication in PNAS: Mechanisms of backtrack recovery by RNA Polymerases I and II.
Optical tweezers were used to track single molecules of two different classes of RNA polymerase as they transcribe DNA into RNA. She shows that RNAP I (which transcribes ribosomal RNA) and RNAP II (which transcribes messenger RNA) both exhibit backtracking… Read More »New Publication in PNAS: Mechanisms of backtrack recovery by RNA Polymerases I and II.
