All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

Researchers identified how the poxvirus protein VITF-3 forms a molecular ring that clamps onto DNA with viral RNA polymerase, bending it by 90 degrees to initiate gene copying.

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a unique viral mechanism: A molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...
