A Mechanistic Model for Cooperative Behavior of Co-transcribing RNA Polymerases
Fig 11
A flowchart for our simulation of the elongation process.
RNAPs that translocate follow the chart from elongation and continue in order depending on if that RNAP experiences a collision or a pause. If a neighboring RNAP translocates, updates for torque, velocity, and pause frequency are calculated for the affected RNAPs starting with that block of the flowchart.
