Biochemist helps describe polymerase-ribosome complex

Gregor Blaha, an assistant professor of biochemistry at UC Riverside, is a coauthor on a research paperpublished last week in the journal Science that reports on the cryo-electron microscopy structures of several complexes of RNA polymerase bound to the ribosome. In all living cells, RNA polymerase transcribes DNA into RNA and the ribosome translates the...
