When the RNAP recognizes specific DNA terminator sequences encoded at the end of the gene, the RNA transcript is released, and the process ends. RNAP also has a proofreading mechanism [31]. Differently from the DNAP, the mismatched nucleotide is removed in the same site as that of ...
We used computational methods to infer a code for nucleotide recognition involving two amino acids in each repeat, and we validated this model by recoding a PPR protein to bind novel RNA sequences in vitro. Our results show that PPR tracts bind RNA via a modular recognition mechanism that ...
The most significant sections are genes, parts of DNA, which carry information about the amino acid sequence of proteins. Whereas DNA stores and duplicates genetic information, RNA plays a key role in its realization, that is, in the process of synthesis of a protein molecule in accordance ...
Messenger RNA, molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). Each mRNA molecule encodes information for one protein. In the cytoplasm, mRNA molecules are translated fo

Here we introduce Pytheas, a flexible software package that conveniently encompasses many useful features for automated analysis of RNA tandem MS data. Pytheas performs in silico digestion of the given RNA sequences, then matches theoretical spectra against the acquired MS/MS data, via an empirical ...
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can form proteins. 肽是可以形成蛋白质的氨基酸短链。 A peptide is a short chain made up of two or more amino acids. The amino acids are linked by a chemical bond calle...
How many amino acids are attached to a single transfer RNA? How many different nucleotide sequences may code for the following protein sequence: Arg-Lys-Pro-Val-Ser-Ile-Ala? A DNA sequence is 1500 nucleotides long. Answer the following questions: A) How...
(Fig.6). RNA editing, as a co/posttranscriptional modification, can change nucleotide sequences and have important effects on viral replication, protein synthesis, infection, and virulence. ADARs and APOBECs, in addition to deamination, are RNA-binding proteins that directly interact with endogenous...
The main reason for this is that the attachment of an amino acid to a particular tRNA establishes the genetic code, because the amino acid charged to the tRNA will be incorporated into a growing polypeptide protein chain according to the anticodon of the tRNA. Therefore, errors th...
