Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
which exons become spliced together?
Splicing is the editing of the nascent precursor messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) called pre-mRNA transcript into a mature messenger RNA (mRNA). Introns are removed and the exons (coding regions) are joined together (ligated) in the splicing process, . Spliceosome complex is involved in the splicing mechanisms. Alternative splicing occurs in eukaryotes that greatly increases the biodiversity of proteins that is encoded by the genome. The type of the splicing depends on the structure of the spliced intron and the catalysts required for splicing process.
