A riboswitch is an RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecule that resembles both repressor and activator protein and controls gene expression by binding to the cell metabolite. The process of copying one of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) helical strands into mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) is known as transcription.
