Questions and Answers

What happens to initiation during in vitro transcription at low ionic strength?

  • Initiation slows to a stop (correct)
  • Initiation speeds up
  • Initiation becomes more efficient
  • Initiation remains constant

What is the effect of adding new core polymerase during in vitro transcription at low ionic strength?
