regulating translation Flashcards
1
Q
What does RNAi do?
A
= translation of the mrna is inhbited
2
Q
What is the general idea that happens?
A
= mrna molecule already transcribed gets destroyed in cytoplasm before converted into a polypeptide chain in translation
= dne my small interfering rna
3
Q
How does interfering translation work?
A
= an enzyme can cut the mrna into sirna
= one strand of the sirna combindes with another enzyme
= rhe sirna enzyme complex, by complementar bae pairing bind to another mrna molecule
= the enzyme will cut up the mrna so it cannot be translated
