Expression

Expression

(Science: molecular biology) The process by which a genes coded information is converted into the structures present and operating in the cell.

expressed genes include those that are transcribed into mrna and then translated into protein and those that are transcribed into rna but not translated into protein (for example, transfer and ribosomal RNAs).

Do slants make a difference in structural formulas?

... \ / C = C / \ H H Does the slant make a major difference when depicting structural formulas? Much thanks in advance, and really sorry for the poor expression there with the formulas.

UWM is seeking testers for a new protein expression kit

... can incorporate foreign and over-expressed membrane proteins without disrupting normal cellular function. This characteristic has stimulated the expression of active and correctly folded membrane protein where other systems have failed. In an attempt to gather additional testing data, the UWM ...

Re: Knockout mice

... yes, though this can be complicated by the biology, especially if the gene is on the X sex chromosome (where chromosome silencing can complicate expression). "What confuses me is that if this is the case, then what's the difference between knock-out and knock-down mice?" The difference ...

Knockout mice

... gene. The mouse will likely produce the protein from the wild-type copy of the gene, but depending on how the gene is regulated it is likely that expression of the protein will be below wild-type levels.

Orientation of genes

"to be cloned" part is not needed. Sorry When making a gene construct (before inserting into an expression vector), do we have to place the desired gene, the reporter gene and the marker gene in any specific direction or orientation? I have seen in most cases the desired ...
