In the following schematic drawing, a transcribing RNA polymerase is moving toward the right on the DNA template as indicated. If the polymerase is allowed to rotate freely while the DNA is kept from doing so, would the enzyme rotate in a right-handed (R) or left-handed (L) fashion around the template? Write down R or L as your answer.
