Transcription Factor II: A Structure with Multiple Functions
The process of transcription, by which RNA is read from DNA, is executed by a large complex of 40 to 50 proteins. The crystal structure of three molecules at the core of this complex is presented by Geiger et al. ( p. 830 ) in this issue of Science . In their Perspective, Jacobson and Tjian explain...

. In their Perspective, Jacobson and Tjian explain why the resolution of this structure is an important step on the road to understanding the entire transcription machinery. |
