Proteins, the fundamental building blocks of cells, carry out essential functions throughout the body. The instructions for building them are encoded inDNA. To translate this genetic information into proteins, the relevant DNA sequences must first be transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). Initially,...
RNA molecules can fold into intricate shapes that can provide an additional layer of control of gene expression beyond that of their sequence. In this Review, we discuss the current mechanistic understanding of structures in 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of eukaryotic mRNAs and the emerging metho...
Answer to: How is an mRNA codon sequence decoded into a protein sequence? By signing up, you'll get thousands of step-by-step solutions to your...
The race to develop the vaccine started on March 17, 2020, when Pfizer and BioNTech announced a partnership that would use BioNTech’s novel mRNA technology. Over the next months, Pfizer successfully conducted the most ambitious vaccine development program in history: the company managed to cut th...
Therapeutic mRNA has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of myriad diseases and, in 2020, facilitated the most rapid vaccine development in history. Among the substantial advances in mRNA technology made in recent years, the incorporation of base modifications into therapeutic mRNA sequences ca...
Recently, the consortium demonstrated that Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are the dominant phyla in the distal gut of the elderly population, contributing to 97% of the assigned sequences (Claesson et al., 2011, Claesson et al., 2012). However, when the diversity of each individual was examined,...

How are DNA and mRNA alike? How does an operon organize DNA and regulate gene expression? A Gene has this sequence: GCATC TAC GCC ATG AAT AT Translate all sequences in amino acids. What would be the impact of these mutations on the protein? 1.GCATCTACGCGATGAATATT 2.GCATCTACG...
the amino acids that make up the protein are determined by three adjacent bases, known as codons, and the start codon of mRNA is generally AUG. When translation begins, the ribosome starts to translate from start codons, such as AUG and moves, along the mRNA, with every three adjacent base...
Binding of 2-5As, generated by OASes, to the ARD alters the conformation of RNase L, thereby exposing protein–protein interaction domains and releasing the RNASE domain from internal inhibitory sequence, triggering its dimerization and activation. RNase L cleaves single-stranded RNAs at the UU/UA...
