== Overview ==
RNA polymerase (RNAP) II
The <scene name='82/824541/Bridge/1'>bridge</scene> is an Rpb1 segment that translocates the DNA-RNA combination at the end of each cycle of catalysis.

The clamp swings to trap the DNA in the cleft. Further along, the wall sends the DNA template through the cleft in approximately a 90° turn. Both the clamp and wall are parts of the Rpb2 subunit. Further along in the process, the rudder separates the newly synthesized RNA strand from the DNA template. The DNA reforms into a double helix as it leaves RNA pol II.
