| Comments | "Of the three forms of RNA polymerases, the B enzyme has been the most widely studied at the structural level. This multisubunit enzyme, of molecular mass 500,000-600,000, is composed of two large polypeptides (Mr>140,000) and a collection of smaller components . This polypeptide composition seems highly conserved in lower eukaryotes, plants, insects, and vertebrates (refs 2-4)." |
