Protein Synthesis: Transcription and Translation

Solution Preview

First, RNA must be synthesized from the DNA template:

Ribonucleotides: adenosine-, guanosine-, cytidine-, and uridine- triphosphates (ATP, GTP, UTP)

RNA polymerase: finds the initiation site on the DNA template strand, separates the DNA, initiate chain synthesis and add ribonucleotides to the chain

Transcription factors: proteins required to help RNApol find/bind the ...
