Molecular biology: Termination by torpedo
David Tollervey1
Abstract
The information encoded in our genes must be copied into messenger RNAs, which will programme the protein-synthesis machinery. New results support an intriguing mechanism for ending the copying process.
Genetic information is encoded in the sequence of the DNA double helix. To access this information, the DNA sequence must be copied, or 'transcribed', by enzymes known as RNA polymerases.
