Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase undergoes major conformational changes as transcription proceeds from initiation to elongation. Using limited trypsin digestion and stopped-flow fluorescence kinetic methods, we have monitored promoter release, initial bubble collapse, and refolding of the 152-205 region (subdomain H), the latter being important for RNA channel formation. The kinetic studies show that the...
