(a) Normally, RNA is the intermediate for protein translation. mRNA works as the template; tRNA is the adaptor between mRNA and amino acids; rRNA is the essential parts of protein-synthesizing ribosomes (b) RNA can also be genetic material in some viruses (c) RNA can be a ribozyme cataly...
DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferringgenetic information, while RNA directly codesfor amino acidsand acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins. DNA and RNAbase pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases ...
DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids, which are molecules that contain sets of instructions for cells to make genetic information and proteins. However, there are significant differences between the two of them.This guide will compare and contrast DNA and RNA in terms of structure, funct...
A protein structural domain that binds DNA and RNA, and that is found most commonly in transcription factors. It consists of a helix–turn–helix structure of 60 amino acids. GAR domain A Gly- and Arg-rich motif that adopts a repeated β-turn structure. It is found most commonly in prote...

要读取DNA,首先要将其转录成RNA副本。这个拷贝被带到细胞的另一个区域,在那里它被翻译成氨基酸,这些氨基酸被组合成一个三维分子。翻译过程从DNA起始密码子(ATG)开始,在终止密码子(通常为TAA、TAG或TGA)结束。 在Oligohymenophorea s...
acid is the molecule that codes genetic information. However, DNA can't directly order a cell to make proteins. It has to be transcribed into RNA orribonucleic acid. RNA, in turn, is translated bycellular machineryto make amino ...
Replicative DNA polymerases cannot initiate DNA synthesis de novo and rely on dedicated RNA polymerases, primases, to generate a short primer. This primer is then extended by the DNA polymerase. In diverse archaeal species, the primase has long been known to have the ability to synthesize both ...
To model protein-nucleic acid interactions, it is important to identify the DNA or RNA-binding residues in proteins. Protein sequence features, including the biochemical property of amino acids and evolutionary information in terms of position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM), have been used for DNA ...
DNA and RNA ligands, or aptamers, are short single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssDNA or ssRNA) that can be isolated from complex combinatorial libraries of nucleic acids using an iterativein vitroselection procedure called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX)19. SELEX select...
