Translation
The molecular basis of translation is the process by which the genetic information stored in RNA is converted into a functional protein. This process occurs on ribosomes, which are large complexes of proteins and RNA molecules. The process of translation is divided into three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. In the initiation stage, a…

Post transcriptional processingÂ
Post-transcriptional processing refers to the set of modifications and events that occur to the RNA molecule after transcription, but before translation. These modifications are important for the stability, localization, and translation of the RNA molecule. Capping, polyadenylation, splicing, RNA editing, RNA localization, and RNA stability are all important aspects of post-transcriptional processing.

Eukaryotic transcription
The eukaryotic transcription process is a fundamental process for gene expression in eukaryotic cells. This process involves several steps that are tightly regulated and require the coordinated action of multiple proteins and regulatory factors. The initiation step is the first and most critical step in the transcription process. It involves the recruitment of RNA polymerase…

Prokaryotic Transcription
Introduction: Promoter recognition and binding: Initiation: Elongation: Termination: In summary, Prokaryotic transcription is the process of converting genetic information from DNA to RNA. This process is mediated by the enzyme RNA polymerase. The process includes promoter recognition and binding, initiation, elongation, and termination. The RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter by the help of sigma factor…

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
The central dogma of molecular biology is a fundamental principle that explains the flow of genetic information in living organisms. It states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins, but not the reverse. This principle has been a fundamental concept in the field of molecular biology and has helped to understand many…
