RNApolymerisaatio
RNApolymerisaatio is a biological process where RNA polymerase enzymes synthesize RNA molecules from DNA templates. This process is fundamental to gene expression and occurs in all living organisms. RNA polymerase recognizes specific promoter sequences on the DNA and initiates transcription, the process of copying genetic information from DNA to RNA. There are different types of RNA polymerases, each responsible for synthesizing specific types of RNA, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). The RNA polymerase enzyme moves along the DNA template, adding ribonucleotides to the growing RNA strand in a 5' to 3' direction. This process continues until the enzyme reaches a termination sequence, at which point the newly synthesized RNA molecule is released. RNApolymerisaatio is a crucial step in the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
