We studied transcription by RNAP at physiological nucleotide concentrations using a new single-molecule assay together with improved optical trapping instrumentation. In combination, these achieve ...

The Florida and Georgia bow deer seasons are underway, and archers are fairing well throughout both states - or at least bowhunters who are relentless in their pursuit of whitetails. For many people, ...

Scientists have developed a new method to analyze the dynamical, out-of-equilibrium properties of complex disordered systems, such as gold with magnetic impurities or opinions spreading on social ...

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 ...

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 ...
