'''Movement'''. At this point, the complex is in the <scene name='77/778917/T7rp_init_pretranslocated/1'>pre-translocated state</scene> and to add the next base, the enzyme must translocate forward along the DNA (or equivalently, the RNA/DNA slides backwards), forming the post-translocated state. In the latter state (only) the active site now accommodates binding of the next NTP to the (+3) template base, to then <scene name='77/778917/T7rp_init_ggg/4'>form a 3 base transcript</scene>.

This cycle of NTP binding, catalysis (bond formation via phosporyl transfer), and forward translocation repeats over and over, throughout extension of the RNA.

The enzyme active site presumably stabilizes these short hybrids, but evidence also suggests that the intercalating loop, upstream and the active site, downstream, stabilize the bubble and keep it from collapsing and competitively displacing the short, nascent RNA.

'''The initial bubble grows'''. From 2mer, the system progresses ->3mer->4mer->5mer->6mer ... During this time, the newly formed RNA-DNA duplex (hybrid) grows, from 2 bases, to 3 bases, to 4 bases, etc., and during the time, the duplex is short and otherwise unstable.

'''The growing hybrid induces protein domain movement'''. Also note that the initial active site accommodates only about a 3 base RNA-DNA duplex, as the N-terminal domain lies in the path of that hybrid (remember that forward translocation of the polymerase is really reverse translocation of the RNA-DNA hybrid). Beyond about 3 bases, the hybrid pushes on the N-terminal domain, inducing into to both translate backwards and rotate. This can be seen in structures of the complex with 7 and 8 bases of RNA synthesized.
