Identification of Benzothiophene-Derived Inhibitors of Flaviviruses by Targeting RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase. [PDF]
VirusesFlaviviruses such as Dengue, West Nile, and Zika viruses are mosquito-borne RNA viruses that can cause serious diseases in humans. To develop effective drugs for treating these viruses’ infections, we create a new approach for developing common or shared

alpha-helix E of Spo0A is required for sigma(A)- but not for sigma(H)-dependent promoter activation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2004 At the onset of endospore formation in Bacillus subtilis, the DNA binding protein Spo0A activates transcription from two types of promoters. The first type includes the spoIIG and spoIIE promoters, which are used by sigma(A)-RNA polymerase, whereas the ...

Computational Investigations on Polymerase Actions in Gene Transcription and Replication Combining Physical Modeling and Atomistic Simulations [PDF]
Chin. Phys. B Vol. 25, No. 1 (2016) 018706, 2015 Polymerases are protein enzymes that move along nucleic acid chains and catalyze template-based polymerization reactions during gene transcription and replication. The polymerases also substantially improve transcription or replication fidelity through the non-equilibrium enzymatic cycles.

Cotranscriptional kinetic folding of RNA secondary structures including pseudoknots [PDF]
Journal of Computational Biology, 2021, 2020 Computational prediction of RNA structures is an important problem in computational structural biology. Studies of RNA structure formation often assume that the process starts from a fully synthesized sequence. Experimental evidence, however, has shown that RNA folds concurrently with its elongation.
