About the Lecture

RNA polymerase (Pol) II is a multisubunit enzyme that produces mRNA during transcription of protein-coding genes. Its activity is highly regulated by both protein and RNA factors. In this talk, I will discuss how we have been using cryo-EM and biochemistry to gain insights into the structures, conformations, and activities of mammalian Pol II complexes.
