In physics, a "disordered system" refers to a physical system whose components—e.g., its atoms—are not organized in any discernible way. Like a drawer full of random socks, a disordered system lacks a ...

Backtracking refers to the retrograde movement of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which is the crucial enzyme within the SARS-CoV-2 replication-transcription complex. This enzyme comprises ...

Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) synthesizes RNA with remarkable fidelity in vivo 1. Its low error rate may be achieved by means of a ‘proofreading ...

Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently uncovered the mechanisms of how RNA polymerase II performs intrinsic cleavage reaction to proofread RNA ...
