The required features of nanofactories, and current strategies for their design and fabrication.
Noncanonical Features and Modifications on the 5′‐End of Bacterial sRNAs and mRNAs
Although many eukaryotic transcripts contain cap structures, it has been long thought that bacterial RNAs do not carry any special modifications on their 5′‐ends. In bacteria, primary transcripts are produced by transcription initiated with a nucleoside triphosphate and are therefore triphosphorylated on 5′‐ends.
