Prokaryotic Transcription INITIATION - How do sigma factor & RNA polymerase initiate transcription?

References/Resources:   / the_crux   The process of the transcription Initiation in prokaryotes. I explain the structural features of sigma factor 70, RNA polymerase (core- and Holo-enzyme) and the promoter DNA configuration and transitions. The main stages of the initiation process discussed are Closed Complex formation, Open Complex formation (with Transcription Bubble), Ternary Complex formation, and DNA scrunching.
