Gene transcription: Extending the message
Patrick Cramer1
Abstract
During transcription, RNA polymerase catalyses the addition of nucleotides to the growing RNA chain. High-resolution structural snapshots indicate that the polymerase first identifies its substrate, and then incorporates it.
Life is chemistry — well, at least it is to the molecular biologist. But chemical details remain unclear even for some of the fundamental cellular processes such as gene transcription.
