Description: This image is taken from the crystal structure of Taq RNA polymerase.

Parts of have been removed to show interior structure; outline of is shown as a cyan line.

The template DNA strand is shown in green, and the nontemplate strand is in yellow.

Note the sharp bend in the template strand.

The first two ribonucleotides to be incorporated (i and i + 1) are shown in orange and pink, respectively, close to a catalytically essential Mg2+.
