Transcription Networks - Basic Concepts
Transcription Networks - Basic Concepts The cell continuously monitors its environment and calculates the amount of each protein that is needed. The rate of production is controlled by transcription networks. To represent environmental states, cells use special proteins called transcription factors as symbols. Transcription factors are molecules that can rapidly switch between active and inactive molecular states, with rates determined by environmental factors. Transcription factors bind to DNA and regulate read-rate of genes....
