PSYC 3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Stem-Loop, Glucocorticoid Receptor, Rna Silencing
Document Summary
Genes: our codes for life are situated in the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes (threadlike structure) containing dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) Nucleus- the inner area of a cell that houses chromosomes and genes. Segments within dna consist of genes that make proteins to determine our development. The functional unit of bio is the protein. The code to make proteins are contained in genes which needs to be. Translation- mrna code read by ribosome and translates it and product is. Post-translational processing and trafficking- after weve made the a protein protein, we process it into big protein (processing is cutting up protein) and trafficking is sending them off. Transcription modulation (slide p. 7): end result of some forms of neuronal communication, hormone-receptor actions, target of drug action. Synthesis of a protein by a ribosome. All cells of an organism are initially derived from a single cell and thus share.
