ABIOGENIC INFORMATION COUPLING BETWEEN NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN, OR, HOW PROTEIN AND DNA WERE MARRIEDMelvin Calvin
Decades of developmental, genetic and biochemical studies have identified protein and RNA constituents unique to germ granules and have implicated these in germ cell identity, genome integrity and gamete differentiation. Now, emerging research is defining germ granules as biomolecular condensates that ...
How is DNA structure similar to a protein? How does an RNA virus replicate? What makes RNA a unique nucleic acid? How does transfer RNA work? How is protein synthesis different from DNA replication? Why does DNA need RNA? What is the difference between mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, more commonly known as DNA, is a complex molecule that contains all of the information necessary to build and maintain an organism. All living things have DNA within their cells.Stanislaw Pytel/Getty Images Like the one ring of power in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings,"d...
Nucleic acids are a type of biomolecule present in all living cells. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a double-helical nucleic acid that serves as the hereditary molecule. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are single-stranded and typically shorter and serve various functi...
Glycosylation of the IgG Fc fragment has been shown to be crucial for the anti-inflammatory activity of IVIG in several mouse models. SIGNR1 (DC-SIGN-related protein 1) and its human counterpart DC-SIGN (DC-specific ICAM3-grabbing non-integrin) may represent novel, glycosylation-specific recept...
Have you ever been told that the human body is a well-oiled machine? You might imagine your cells as a kind of factory floor, with all of your organelles performing their functions in perfect harmony. But there's a huge difference between your cells and a factory. In a factory, someone...
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, information-containing molecules in the cell (ribonucleic acid, or RNA, is the other ...
How is RNA formed from DNA? How do cells use the base sequence of a DNA molecule to produce a polypeptide? What type of cells have DNA inside a nucleus? How are DNA, protein, and carbohydrates involved in the structure of your cells?
