RNAtekijöistä
RNAtekijöistä, meaning RNA polymerases in Finnish, refers to a crucial family of enzymes responsible for synthesizing RNA molecules from a DNA template. These enzymes are fundamental to gene expression in all living organisms, playing a central role in the process known as transcription. RNA polymerases bind to specific DNA sequences called promoters, unwind the DNA double helix, and then catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between incoming ribonucleotides, assembling a complementary RNA strand.
There are different types of RNA polymerases in eukaryotes, each specialized for transcribing specific classes of
