Transcription in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the process of transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Transcription in Prokaryotes: DNA dependent RNA polymerase is the single enzyme that catalyses the transcription of all types of bacterial RNA. (i) Initiation: RNA polymerase binds to promoter and initiates transcription. It associates transiently with 'initiation factor' (σ) and uses nucleoside triphosphates as substrate, obeying [...]
