2: Prokaryotic transcription

Interactive materials for the prokaryotic transcription lecture of Molecular Biology of Genes (BIOM335). Both are best viewed on a laptop or desktop.

Prokaryotic transcription in 3D
An interactive 3D animation of the bacterial transcription cycle, from promoter binding to termination, built from published RNA polymerase structures.
Proteins of bacterial transcription
A gallery of every protein in the lecture, from RNA polymerase and its subunits to the σ factors, NusA, NusG and Rho. Open any one to turn it in 3D and read its key facts.
