Excerpt

RNA polymerase (RNAP) is the central enzyme ofgene expression and the focus of genetic regulation. Tounderstand regulation in molecular detail, one needs torelate the few RNAP basic functions to a myriad of influences that affect its activity. In other words, RNAP can beviewed as a core molecular machine that is target to regulatory signals...
