Changes

through the enzymatic action of a specific isoform of [[RNA polymerase]]. It is the intermediary step in the production of [[protein|proteins]], and the final step for non-protein coding RNAs. Protein coding genes are transcribed into mRNA which are then translated by the [[ribosome]] to create a nascent [[polypeptides|polypetide]] chain.

Non-protein coding RNAs are transcribed from [[DNA]] for the production of ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, and small nuclear RNAs which serve various other functions in the cell. The biochemical process for transcription is similar to [[DNA replication]] in that it requires the action of multiple enzymes to unravel double-stranded genomic DNA which allows an enzyme ([[DNA polymerase]]) to processively catalyze the formation of a complementary strand based on proper [[nucleotide]] base pairing.
