OverviewOverview

Eukaryotic organisms cap the 5' ends of their messenger RNAs by a series, of four chemical reactions. Some viruses achieve this using a single, molecule; the crystal structure of such an enzyme from bluetongue virus, reveals an elongated modular architecture that provides a scaffold for an, assemblage of active sites, two contributed by a domain of novel, structure.
