Document Summary
These conformations could hold in formation in themselves aside from the sequence this conformation could mean something: all rnas pair with itself to make this secondary structure. Complementary base pairing is happening here is what causes the trna to have this shape, the pairing with itself: green part is anticodon that complementary base pairs with the codon in mrna. Ribosomal rna (orange) base pairs with itself and is catalytic. Catalytic because it has a higher order structure and it has a higher order structure because it pairs with itself. This protein knows how to make copies of itself. It can copy its own gene which can make more copies of the protein. There is no complementary base pairing in this picture (these are amino acid domains therefore there can be no base pairing) Proteins cannot participate in complementary base pairing: dna polymerase makes more dna, it makes more of its own gene. Organelles have typically bacterial gene structure and expression.
