RNA Polymerase Dynamics and Function RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA during transcription, which is a highly complex process with many open questions on its mechanism remain to be answered. We are particularly interested in dynamics of RNA polymerase at the active site as well as at the larger scale...

Dutagaci Lab will start at UC Merced in January 2021! It will be a computational lab to study dynamics and function of biomolecules. Student interested in biomolecular simulations are encouraged to apply.
