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...
mRNA molecules (for messenger RNA) are the transcription products of protein-coding genes, which, in eukaryotes, are synthesized by RNA polymerase II. Messenger RNAs consist of a linear arrangement of codons (a triplet of nucleotides that codes for a given amino acid) flanked by non-codin...
Is ribosomal RNA made during transcription? How does DNA control protein synthesis? How mRNA is transported out of the nucleus? How does an RNA virus work? Does an RNA virus have DNA? Does transfer RNA convert DNA to mRNA? How an RNA virus could insert DNA copies into a host's cell?
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...
Subpopulations of soluble, misfolded proteins can bypass chaperones within cells. The extent of this phenomenon and how it happens at the molecular level are unknown. Through a meta-analysis of the experimental literature we find that in all quantitative protein refolding studies there is always a ...
(C) Bottom: after a correct residue (N) is incorporated by pol?, Rev1 protein may be involved in a switch between the insertion polymerase (pol?) and an extension polymerase, such as polζ. The patch of DNA synthesis generated in this two-polymerase model is shown in red. For clarity...
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?
