What is the closed complex in prokaryotic transcription
When RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region around 10 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site
What does the closed complex determine in prokaryotic transcription
Where and how efficiently RNA polymerase binds to DNA
What is the open complex in prokaryotic transcription
When DNA opens over the transcription start site allowing RNA polymerase to begin transcription
What happens during elongation in prokaryotic transcription
The RNA strand leaves the open complex as it is transcribed
What are promoters in prokaryotes
Cis-acting DNA regulatory elements through which transcription is initiated and controlled
