Question
Chapter 11, Problem 22RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reasons that discovery of riboswitches was relevant to bacterial pathology is to be discussed.
Concept information:
For transcription control in prokaryotes, a new method based on the mRNA itself has been discovered. This mRNA shows two functions—decision making and sensing. These two functions, when taken together, are known as riboswitches.
Translation is the process of formation of proteins from the mRNA transcript produced.
