Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An enhancer is a DNA sequence that can stimulate transcription from a nearby promoter. It does this by binding to regions of the DNA far removed from the transcription site and then directly or indirectly interacting with the transcriptional machinery to increase transcription. It does not bring more nucleotides or tRNA to the transcription site.
