Document Summary
Ch 31: transcription: central dogma of biology: translation transcription. Gene: individual units of heredity, controlling individual traits by coding for a functional protein or rna, are genes. (biochemistry, by campbell and farrell 2003) Rna polymerase: the enzyme that synthesizes rna from a. Dna template mrna: messenger rna; the rna (made by rna pol) that contains the information for the synthesis of a protein by the ribosome. The dna strand that acts as the template (i. e. is copied) is called the antisense strand; the rna will have a complementary sequence, i. e. have the same sequence as the other dna strand, which is called the sense strand. Transcription p2 of 11: rna polymerase (rnap or rna pol) The best studied rna pol is from e. coli: 2 " ( ) Factor is variable, depends on the gene being transcribed. Other rna polymerases: variations on a theme, all have 5 core subunits, and can have extra subunits.
