Read this article to learn about the protein targeting in bacteria and eukaryotes. Proteins that must be targeted within the cell must be intercepted early during synthesis so that this can happen correctly. As a protein is being synthesized, decisions must be taken about sending it to the correct location in the cell where it will be required. The information [...]
This article throws light upon the six different modes of post-transcriptional modifications in proteins. Polypeptide chains like RNA transcripts are also modified after their synthesis. This additional processing is termed as post transcriptional modification. These types of post translational modifications are important in achieving the functional status specific to any given protein. Because the final 3D structure of the molecule [...]
Read this article to learn about the production, collection and purification of recombinant proteins. Gene Expression to Produce Proteins: Several proteins have been produced by mammalian expression vectors. The yield of protein synthesis in some cases, is increased by inserting an intron between the promoter and the cloned gene. However, the reason for this is not clear. Coordinated expression: By [...]
