What way is RNA used other than making protein? Does this use involve double-strand RNA or single- What are the structures of RNA and DNA and how might one be used to create the other? How can DNA replication be modeled? How an RNA virus could insert DNA copies into a host's cell?
Transcription is a process where the DNA converts into RNA. Enzymes used in the transcription is RNA polymerase which assembles the nucleotide in RNA by using DNA as a template. In prokaryotes the transcription takes place in three steps I.e. initiation, elongation, and termination. In eukaryot...
DNA is composed of different sequences of our genes. These sequences hold directions for making the proteins that will carry out a cell's particular function. This is how one cell might end up being important to your kidneys, while another cell makes bone. When a gene is turned off, it...
What DNA Does Building a Protein: Transcription Building a Protein: Translation The Protein Synthesis Process DNA Mutation, Variation and Sequencing DNA Structure A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). HowStuffWorks DNA is one of the nucleic acids, infor...
The shape of a protein is dictated by its aminoacidsequence. While sequences may mutate, the overall structure often remains similar to preserve function. The researchers hypothesized they could gauge how much the structures diverge over time by measuring the distance between pairs ofamino acidswithi...
Zenocutuzumab-zbco (Bizengri) is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody. It latches onto HER2 and another protein called HER3 on the cancer cells, then attacks those cells. TRK inhibitors, such as entrectinib (Rozlytrek) and larotrectinib (Vitrakyi), treat lung cancers that have...
Previously, it was known that a protein complex called RNA polymerase IV (Pol-IV) played a global role in establishing DNA methylation patterns. This polymerase makes small molecular messages called siRNAs that act like a molecular GPS system, indicating all the locations within the genome where ...
In several instances, they found that the DNA sequence of a gene and the structure of the protein it encodes could be nearly identical between species but have very different expression patterns. "This really shocked us, because it goes against all the intuition we had about development and bio...
