    #Remdesivir does NOT block #coronavirus polymerase. It imparis RNA translocation and causes an elongation barrier that is overcome at high substrate concentrations. Our paper presenting the mechanism of remdesivir action is now online: nature.com/articles/s4146… #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

    We present structures of (Mediator)-Pol II pre-initiation complexes at high resolution. Feels great to arrive at a detailed understanding, incl. conformational changes in TFIIH translocase XPB during DNA opening. PIC: nature.com/articles/s4158… Mediator-PIC: nature.com/articles/s4158…

    Our RNA polymerase II-U1 snRNP structure elucidates co-transcriptional splicing. It suggest a nascent RNA loop on the Pol II surface enables efficient splice site scanning. Fabulous work by Suyang Zhang in collaboration with the Lührmann lab. Manuscript: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

    Rosalind Franklin provided the key data for deriving the double helix structure of DNA. She also pioneered studies of viruses and RNA. This benchmark essay celebrates the 100th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the advent of molecular biology.
