Recent advances have improved the range of measurements that can be made using fluorescence-based single-molecule in vitro techniques, and these tools are now being used to monitor the assembly of ...

DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. The genetic information in DNA is used as a basis to create ...

Once transcription stops, the enzyme and the mRNA transcript disengage from the template DNA, which re-winds to form a double helix. The mRNA transcript or pre-mRNA is then released for ...

A fundamental principle of molecular biology governs how proteins are made within the cell, which happens in two stages called transcription and translation. During transcription, information stored ...
