title: How Rho exerts its muscle on RNA.
abstract: Rho factor in bacteria terminates transcription by using energy from ATP hydrolysis to forcefully dissociate the transcripts from RNA polymerase. used data from presteady-state ATPase kinetics to support a rational mechanistic model for Rho's action on RNA.
