Abstract
- Transcription elongation cycle (TEC) of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a process of adding a nucleoside triphosphate to the growing messenger RNA chain. Due to the long timescale events in Pol II TEC, an advanced computational technique, such as Markov State Model (MSM), is needed to provide atomistic mechanism and reaction rates. The combination of MSM and experimental results can be used to build a kinetic network model (KNM) of the whole TEC. This review provides a brief protocol to build MSM and KNM of the whole TEC, along with the latest findings of MSM and other computational studies of Pol II TEC. Lastly, we offer a perspective on potentially using a sequence dependent KNM to predict genome-wide transcription error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
