TYPES OF REPLICATION ENZYMES IN PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, possess a simpler structure compared to eukaryotic cells. One of the essential processes in prokaryotic cells is DNA replication, which is carried out by a set of enzymes. DNA replication is the process…
TRANSCRIPTIONAL TERMINATION IN PROKARYOTES
In prokaryotes, transcriptional termination is the process by which RNA polymerase stops transcribing a DNA template into RNA. There are two main mechanisms of transcriptional termination in prokaryotes: Rho-dependent termination and Rho-independent termination. 1) Rho-Dependent Termination Rho-dependent termination involves the…
ACTIVATION OF AMINO ACIDS AND ELONGATION OF THE POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN IN PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, have a unique process of protein synthesis compared to eukaryotes, such as humans. The process of protein synthesis in prokaryotes involves the activation of amino acids, the formation of an initiation complex, and the elongation of…
