Messy life-producing cellular process caught in action for first time

Phys.org reports that researchers have captured, for the first time, the activity of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II in action. This nanoscale enzyme works like a cellular copy machine, transcribing DNA instructions into RNA messages that guide protein production. The observation sheds light on a fundamental step that underpins nearly every biological process.
