At the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry we study how molecules interact to perform a wide variety of tasks – in living cells but also in inanimate nature. We are convinced that great discoveries are then made when researchers from different disciplines – such as biology, physics, and chemistry – work closely together and openly exchange ideas.

Stop &amp; go: Wie Zellen die Genexpression regulieren

Pause & go: How cells tune gene expression

August 22, 2018

An essential process of gene expression is transcription, in which a gene is read and an RNA molecule is produced from the information with the help of an RNA polymerase. In two new studies, MPI-BPC researchers have now shown how protein factors interrupt or activate the function of RNA polymerase II during transcription – and thus regulate gene expression.
