Research Overview Transcription--synthesis of an RNA copy of genetic information in DNA--is the first step in gene expression and is the step at which most regulation of gene expression occurs. Our lab seeks to understand structures, mechanisms, and regulation of bacterial transcription complexes and to identify, characterize, and develop small-molecule inhibitors of bacterial transcription for application as antituberculosis agents and broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. Our lab uses ... Richard H. Ebright is a Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University. He studies transcription, protein allostery, and antibacterial agents.
