Mechanism of the transition process from initiation to elongation in T7 RNA polymerase

Transcription by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases is characterized by at least two major phases. At initiation, an RNA polymerase recognizes a specific promoter sequence and begins de novo RNA synthesis. During elongation, the RNA polymerase releases the promoter contacts and processively extends the R...
