Paramutation

... the repeat RNA, which causes the paramutation. Exactly how the RNA does this is not understood, but like other epigenetic changes, it involves a covalent modification of the DNA and/or the DNA-bound histone proteins without changing the DNA sequence of the gene itself. Since its initial discovery ...

Re: Denaturation of enzymes

... molecules and individual sections, that bonds reform in a different order than when the protein was first created? Say, for example, you have the covalent bonds (along the entire primary structure) that form first, followed by disulphide bonds. What if a single disulphide bond were to form first, ...
