If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription can ...

Transcription is the process by which DNA is converted into messenger RNA in preparation for translation into a functional product. Extrinsic agents, such as ionizing radiation or chemical mutagen and ...

LMU scientists have shown that a fundamental process of life works differently than previously assumed. The basic process of life, known as transcription, is the process by which the genetic ...

Initiation of DNA synthesis: a general model from studies with prokaryotes -- Escherichia coli oriC -- Lambda phage origin: a familiar refrain -- Regulatory transcription factors and the initiation of ...

All three RNAPs have catalytic cores consisting of 10 subunits. Five of these are core subunits which form crab claw shapes with DNA at their centres, channels for RNA products and NTP substrates as ...

Mechanisms for replicating DNA / G.S. Brush and T.J. Kelly -- Origins of DNA replication / M.L. DePamphilis -- Roles of transcription factors in DNA replication / P.C. van der Vliet -- Roles of ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

The regulation of mRNA transcription plays a key role in relaying signals from the environment and during development into the gene expression program of a cell. During transcription initiation, a ...
