#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
When polymerase bind to promoter, it spontaneously undergoes a transition to the open complex and initiates transcription. This gives a low level of constitutive expression called the basal level. The rate -limiting step in basal level transcription

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
Activators that stimulate this kind of promoter work by triggering a conformational change in either RNA polymerase or DNA; that is, they interact with the stable closed complex and induce a conformational change that causes transition to the open complex. This mechanism is an example of
