A busy few weeks for the lab 🥵... three new stories published. The first describes activation of transcription by DNA distortion academic.oup.com/nar/article…

Activation of bacterial transcription by distortion of promoter base pairing

Abstract. Bacterial RNA polymerase binds and unwinds promoter DNA to initiate transcription. The process is often inefficient and can be stimulated by acti

Our new findings on how the ribosome couples with the RNA polymerase are summarized in a movie highlighting the dynamics of the process🎞️🎥 Thanks to Clemens Bretscher for the great animations! - behance.net/cbretscher @embl paper in @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our FIRST @biorxivpreprint of the lab all done by SuperScientist Nussi Qureshi! We see how single ribosomes slow down upon colliding into RNA polymerase and that they activate RNAP via long-range physical coupling! Check it out! @embl biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Tracking transcription-translation coupling in real-time

A central question in biology is how macromolecular machines function cooperatively. In bacteria, transcription and translation occur in the same cellular compartment and can be physically and...

Professional workflow - start reading a paper - tab out 35 more from the references - download and save each one - send all to a folder - name that folder "to read" - never open that folder again

yesterday I noticed problems when trying to open Sci-Hub website: at first, I was thinking that is some DDoS attack, but after checking again today, found out that sci-hub.se domain that was resistant for many years has been deactivated :( use sci-hub.ru
