Summary Introduction
To describe: How the two distinct, non-identical elements of the prokaryotic promoter are essential to transcription initiation.
Introduction: The flow of information from DNA to RNA is referred to as transcription, while the flow of information from RNA to protein is referred to as translation. In the process of transcription, only one strand of the DNA is required to be copied. The synthesis of RNA (single-stranded) directed by DNA (double-stranded) is carried out using the enzyme RNA polymerase. The genetic code probably contains a chain of information in blocks referred to as codons. About 61 possible codons are sufficient to encode all the 20 amino acids.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
