Summary Introduction

To review:

Molecules that can bind to ncRNA (non-coding RNA)

Introduction:

The ncRNA stands for non- coding RNAs and has the ability to carry out various functions and affect processes like gene expression and translation of messenger RNA. The functions include acting as a scaffold, guide, alteration of protein structure, ribozyme, blocker, and decoy.

Explanation of Solution

ncRNA controls certain functions due to its proximity and binding ability to certain important molecules like DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (Ribonucleic acid), proteins and small molecules. This binding is facilitated by multiple binding sites and complementary base pairing.

1. DNA: binding of ncRNAs to DNA is due to its strong affinity to DNA molecules due to complementary base pairing.

2. RNA: binding of ncRNAs is due to complementary base pairing of ncRNAs and messenger RNA molecules.

3. Proteins and small molecules:ncRNAs bind to proteins and other small molecules due to multiple binding sites and affect processes like transcription and translation.

The figure given below shows the binding of ncRNA to different molecules of DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules:

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that ncRNAs bind to different molecules like DNA, RNA, proteins and small molecules due to complementary base pairing and multiple binding sites on ncRNA molecule.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
