Researchers have now been able to capture an enzyme called RNA polymerase on video as it copies a DNA sequence into an RNA molecule. | Cell And Molecular Biology
Read Time: On scales too small for our eyes to see, the business of life happens through the making of proteins, which impart to our cells both structure and function. Cellular proteins get their marching orders from genetic instructions encoded in DNA, whose sequences are first copied and made into RNA in a multi-step process called transcription. A research collaboration at Colorado State University specializes in high-resolution fluorescence microscopy and computational modeling to visualize and describe such stuff-of-life processes in exquisite detail, in real time, at the level of sing...
