转录泡泡(Transcription bubble)是在DNA转录过程中,当DNA双链的局部解旋时所形成的分子结构。转录泡泡的大小范围为12-14个碱基对。当RNA聚合酶启动子结合并导致两条DNA链分离时,就会形成转录泡泡。[1]它显示了一个未配对的DNA区域,在双螺旋的每条链上都暴露出一小段核苷酸[1][2]

A molecular structure composed of unwound and unpaired DNA, where a short stretch of nucleotides are exposed on each strand of the double helix, allowing RNA polymerase binding, and nascent RNA synthesis within this region.
