Reciprocating RNA Polymerase batters through roadblocks

Abstract RNA polymerases must transit through protein roadblocks to produce full-length transcripts. Here we report real-time measurements of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase passing through different barriers. As intuitively expected, assisting forces facilitated, and opposing forces hindered, RNA p...
