Scientists have deciphered the structure of an essential part of Mediator, a complex molecular machine that plays a vital role in regulating the transcription of DNA.

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions.

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism ...

In eukaryotes, DNA is tightly wound into a complex called chromatin. Thanks to the process of chromatin remodeling, this complex can be "opened" so that specific genes are expressed.

While the major steps in RNA synthesis have been known for several decades, scientists have only recently begun to decipher the detailed molecular steps of the complex transcription process.

Researchers have determined the structure of a molecular protein complex that helps DNA to be read and its instructions carried out.
