Quick Notes on Genetic Code:- 1. Introduction to Genetic Code 2. Properties of Genetic Code 3. Exceptions 4. Decipherence. Introduction to Genetic Code: Living things depend on proteins for existence, the latter produce enzymes necessary for all chemical reactions. Structural information required to specify the synthesis of any given protein resides in the molecule of DNA which has the spatial [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on the transcription in prokaryotes. In prokaryotic organisms, transcription occurs in three phases known as initiation, elongation and termination with the help of single RNA polymerase. RNA Polymerase: RNA is synthesized by a single RNA polymerase enzyme which contains multiple polypeptide subunits. In E. coli, the RNA polymerase has five subunits: two [...]
