The Structural Basis of Kinesin Processivity
Transcription of DNA to RNA — carried out by RNA polymerase II — is an important and complex cellular process. An extremely large amount of processing takes place to only transcribe needed information from the large amount of DNA. For his thesis research, Corey Nemec of the Ansari Lab found 11 unexpected kinases that can phosphorylate this polymerase. His research showed that this...
