New cards

What is the closed complex in prokaryotic transcription

The closed complex is when RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region around 10 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site

2
New cards

What does the closed complex determine in prokaryotic transcription

It determines where and how efficiently RNA polymerase binds to DNA

3
New cards

What is the open complex in prokaryotic transcription

The open complex is when DNA opens over the transcription start site allowing RNA polymerase to begin transcription

4
New cards

What happens during elongation in prokaryotic transcription

The RNA strand leaves the open complex as it is transcribed

5
New cards

What are promoters in prokaryotes

Promoters are cis-acting DNA regulatory elements through which transcription is initiated and controlled
