Scientists have observed early RNA transcription dynamics by recording where, when and how RNA polymerase enzymes kick off transcription by binding to a DNA sequence. On scales too small for our eyes ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai LifeSciences, have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces ...

An enzyme that converts DNA into RNA works cooperatively with two helper proteins to coordinate movement in and around structural barriers called nucleosomes, thereby enabling the forward march of ...

Although the number of structures for DNA polymerases has grown steadily, phage T7 RNA polymerase (a single subunit DNA-dependent enzyme) remained, for a number of years, the only structurally defined ...

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and FARGO, N.D., Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS), a leading enzyme engineering company, today announced it has entered into an agreement with ...
