Protein Synthesis-Transcription/Translation

I. Transcription-Making a copy of the gene.

• The gene is "recognized" by protein transcription factors by a region of the gene upstream from the "recipe" called The Promotor Region - includes a repeat sequence of TATATA....(Also known as the TATA box). These transcription factors will now bond to the promotor region.
• Now, RNA polymerase can bond downstream form the transcription complex and , using ATP as its energy source, it begins to transcribe the gene.
