Describe the chemical structure of nucleic acids and how they relate to inheritance Explain the basic structure of nucleic acids. Give at least two major functions. Explain nucleic acids and gene expression by describing the structure of DNA and RNA, explaining DNA replication, and explaining the ...
Describe the chemical structure of nucleic acids and how they relate to inheritance Summarize how DNA and RNA differ in structure and function. Describe the structure of bacterial DNA. Examine three differences between DNA and RNA, then explain two main reasons, ...
Without magnesium, chlorophyll cannot capture sunlight effectively. - It is also important for the activation of many enzymes involved in metabolic processes within the plant. - Magnesium helps in stabilizing the structure of nucleic acids and is involved in energy transfer processes. Show More ...
Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) have recently been proposed as alternative reagents in experiments aimed to the control of gene expression. In PNAs, the pseudopeptide backbone is composed of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units and therefore is stable in human serum and cellular extracts. PNAs hybridize ...
We have recently described a novel intracellular pathway by which proteins and nucleic acids from endocytosed extracellular membrane vesicles (EVs) reach the nuclear compartment and alter the gene expression profile or cell fate34,35. Entry of endocytosed EVs into the nucleoplasmic reticulum (NR), ...
of the Adaptation Module in Synechocystis” online in the internationally-renowned journal Nucleic Acids Research (IF: 11.501). The researchers proved the interactions among Cas1, Cas2 and Cas4 proteins through biochemical experiments, determined the crystal structure of Cas1-Cas2-Spacer ternary ...
The human gut microbiome is highly personal. However, the contribution of gut physiology and environment to variations in the gut microbiome remains understudied. Here we performed an observational trial using multi-omics to profile microbiome compositio
One reason for this lower accuracy of HLA-II epitope prediction is the dimer structure of the HLA-II making the peptide binding groove. In fact, the HLA-II ɑβ-chain combinations have been estimated to be over 4000 in number. In contrast, the combination of the HLA-I and β2-...
Aromaticity refers to a property of cyclic compounds that exhibit enhanced stability due to the delocalization of π electrons across the ring structure. For a compound to be considered aromatic, it must follow Hückel's rule, which states that it should have...
a. Describe the functions of different RNA molecules during protein synthesis. b. How might these RNA functions suggest the appearance of this nucleic acid before DNA and proteins in a model of the origin of life? Explain nucleic acids and gene expression by describing t...
