In this article we will discuss about the processing of pre-snoRNA into mature RNA. Small nucleolar RNAs are families of small RNAs involved in RNA metabolite and gene expression in eukaryotes. Their major function is in processing and modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). In plants, the 5.8S 18S and 28S rRNA of the cytoplasm ribosomes are produced by processing a [...]
The following points highlight the top seven types of naturally occurring nucleotides. The types are: 1. ATP & ADP 2. Cyclic GAM (cAMP or 3’, 5’ –adenosine monophosphate) 3. S-adenosylmethionine 4. Cyclic GMP (cGMP or 3', 5'-guanosine monophosphate) 5. Inosine Monophosphate (IMP) 6. Uridine Nucleotide Derivatives (UDP md OTP) 7. Cytosine Derivatives (CMP, CDP & CTP). Naturally Occurring Nucleotides: Type [...]
The below mentioned article provides a quick note on Nucleotides:- 1. Definition of Nucleotides 2. Biological Importance of Nucleotides 3. Structure 4. Nucleosides. Definition of Nucleotides: These are the compounds constituted by purine or pyrimidine bases, ribose or deoxyribose sugars and phosphoric acid. Biological Importance of Nucleotides: 1. The nucleotides are important intracellular molecules of low molecular weight. 2. They [...]
