Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a ubiquitous family of large biological molecules that perform multiple vital roles in the coding‚ decoding‚ regulation‚ and expression of genes. Together with DNA‚ RNA comprises the nucleic acids‚ which‚ along with proteins‚ constitute the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life. Like DNA‚ RNA is assembled as a chain of nucleotides‚ but is usually single-stranded. Cellular organisms use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information (often notated

The RNA Worlds in Context Thomas R. Cech Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry‚ Howard Hughes Medical Institute‚ University of Colorado‚ Boulder‚ Colorado 80309-0215 Correspondence: thomas.cech@colorado.edu SUMMARY There are two RNAworlds. The first is the primordial RNAworld‚ a hypothetical era when RNA served as both information and function‚ both genotype and phenotype. The second RNA world is that of today’s biological systems‚ where RNA plays active roles in catalyzing biochemical

Isolation of yeast RNA Methods The experiment was first started through mixing of 3.0 g dry yeast‚ 5.0 ml of 1% NaOH and 25.0 ml distilled water in 100 ml beaker. The resulting mixture was heated in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes while being stirred. The suspension was strained using cheesecloth and the obtained filtrate was obtained and collected in the beaker. This was then centrifuged at maximum speed for about 10-15 minutes. Centrifugation‚ which uses the idea of gravity‚ break up

Extraction of DNA from Calf or Hog Thymus/Isolation of Yeast RNA I. Abstract Nucleic acids may be divided into two groups RNA and DNA. DNA contains almost all the genetic information while RNA serves as the bridge between the DNA and proteins. Study of both DNA and RNA initially involves proper extraction/isolation. The storehouse of eukaryotic DNA is the nucleus (and in the mitochondria)‚ so experimentally‚ DNA is extracted from tissues that have a high nuclear to cytoplasmic mass ratio‚ such

Ribonucleic acid is popularly known as RNA. RNA is one of the three major macromolecules (along with DNA and proteins) that are essential for all known forms of life. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It is an important molecule with long chains of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains a nitrogenous base‚ a ribose sugar‚ and a phosphate. Just like DNA‚ RNA is vital for living beings. The main job of RNA is to transfer the genetic code need for the creation of proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome

DNA DNA‚ or Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ is described‚ in Encarta Encyclopedia as a genetic material of all cellular organisms and most viruses. DNA carries the information needed to direct protein synthesis and replication. Protein synthesis is the production of the proteins needed by the cell or virus for its activities and development. Replication is the process by which DNA copies itself for each descendant cell or virus‚ passing on the information needed for protein synthesis. In most cellular

and the RNA World Learning Objectives: Students should be able to... • Sketch a nucleotide‚ label its three basic parts‚ and identify the 2’‚ 3’‚ and 5’ carbons. • Make another sketch showing the primary and secondary structures of DNA. • Describe the primary‚ secondary‚ tertiary‚ and quaternary structures of RNA‚ and explain in what ways RNA differs from DNA. • Explain why and how the secondary structure of DNA allows organisms to store and copy information. • Explain why RNA‚ and not

an essay on the following topic: "Discuss cultural differences as they exist in American and Vietnamese culture and suggest some ways to overcome them." CONTENT The difference of culture impacts so much to the way to living‚ the way of thinking and the way of doing business. America and Vietnam have a big difference in culture‚ religion and business. However‚ we live in a world where it is called flat world‚ where there is no restriction between countries. It requires us to integrate in order to

Long stands of double helical DNA can fit into the nucleus of a single cell because DNA is specially packaged through a series of compaction events to fit easily within cell nuclei. Even though the length of DNA per cell is about 100‚000 times as long as the cell itself‚ it only takes up only about 10 percent of the cell’s volume. The DNA molecule‚ in order to condense‚ wraps itself around groups of histone proteins‚ and then the chromatin folds back on it‚ nucelosomes pack together to create a compact
