Single molecule studies of eukaryotic transcription using optical tweezers — •Adam Muschielok¹, Joanna Andrecka¹, Florian Brückner^2,1, Patrick Cramer^2,1, and Jens Michaelis¹ — ¹Departement Chemie und Biochemie, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Deutschland — ²Gene Center Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Deutschland

Our goal is to study the molecular mechanisms of the eukaryotic transcription process. Therefore we monitor the activity of single RNA Polymerase II (RNAP) molecules during RNA elongation using optical tweezers. We are interested in the elongation process and in the effects of transcription cofactors on RNAP activity.

We present preliminary data together with simulations to discuss the data analysis.
