How Proteins Bind DNA (And How Not To Model Them)Michael White
Proteins are synthesized through a process called translation, which occurs in cellular structures called ribosomes. During translation, the genetic information stored in DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which then carries the instructions to the ribosomes. At the ribosomes, the mRNA co...
DNA carries the information for making all the cell's proteins. These proteins implement all the functions of a living organism and determine the organism's characteristics. When the cell reproduces, it must pass all of this information on to the daughter cells. Before a cell can reproduce, ...

DNA polymerases were named for their function of catalysing DNA replication, a process that is necessary for growth and propagation of life. DNA involving Watson–Crick base-pairing can be synthesized with high fidelity, the structural and mechanistic or
By addressing genetically validated targets, our RNAi therapeutics work “upstream” of most other classes of medicines, such as small molecules and monoclonal antibodies. The Role of mRNA and siRNA Gene expression is the process by which a set of instructions in DNA are converted into proteins. ...
how billions of biomolecules—like DNA, proteins, and lipids—come together to act as one cell. Nor do we know how our many types of cells interact within our bodies. We have limited understanding of how cells, tissues, and organs become diseased and what it takes for them to be healthy...
How DNA Works: Structure and Functions EQ: How do genes and chromosomes work together to determine an organism’s traits? DNA Basics Almost every cell in your body contains about 2 meters of DNA. If you unraveled all your chromosomes from all the cells of your body, then laid out the DNA...
Unfortunately, these agents face a difficult hurdle. The raw material (amino acids) and the factory (ribosome) required to build the machines (proteins) are both found outside the HQ (nucleus). That may not initially seem like a problem, as the DNA could simply be taken outside the nucleu...
