You have attached an RNA polymerase molecule to a glass slide and have allowed it to initiate transcription on a template DNA that is tethered to a magnetic bead as shown in Figure Q6–2. If the DNA with its attached magnetic bead moves relative to the RNA polymerase as indicated in the figure, in which direction will the bead rotate?
