Molecular mechanisms of transcription and transcriptional regulation, including elongation control of virulence genes in proteobacteria. The focal point of the research in our lab is RNA polymerase (RNAP), the enzyme that is responsible for the first step in gene expression, mRNA synthesis. RNAP accomplishes this task during the transcription cycle
