Document Summary

Lecture 4 flow of info: transcription and translation. Transcription in bacteria: terms and basic ideas: dna template: blueprint for the rna sequence, ribonucleotides: monomers for rna polymerization, rna polymerase: catalyzes rna synthesis, promotor: upstream; after which, transcription starts. The part transcribed is called the coding sequence, which is downstream: primary rna transcript looks exactly like the non-template strand (upper strand, 5" to 3"; sense ), with u"s instead of t"s. The template strand (lower, 3" to 5"; anti-sense ) is read by the rna polymerase from 3" to 5", and the primary rna transcript is synthesized from 5" to 3". Transcription in bacteria: process: initiation, rna pol binds to promoter in dna. Closed complex : rna pol melts dna near transcription start site, forming a transcription bubble. Open complex : rna pol catalyzes phosphodiester linkage of two intial rntps. Elongation: rna pol goes 3" 5" down template strand, melting.
