- Below is an image of the predicted RNA secondary structure for an RNA aptamer that binds FGF5. The boxed nucleotide bases are conserved across all of the high-affinity FGF5 binding RNA aptamers. Although the precise structural mechanism of FGF5 binding is not known, provide a hypothesis for how these bases might contribute to the binding specificity.

- TRUE FALSE EF-Ts factor regenerates EF-Tu/GDP from EF-Tu/GTP for the next round of elongation cycle in prokaryotic translation. The sigma o subunit of RNA polymerase is replaced by NusA to recognise the promoter region of a gene. The -10 and -35 sequences in E. coli DNA are referred to as untranslated region. In human, translation begins before transcription of an mRNA completes. The distal histidine stabilises the iron in heme group of a deoxyhaemoglobin. Receptor for epinephrine consists of seven transmembrane helices. Membrane receptors bind to hydrophobic signaling molecules. Amino acids, glucose and fatty acids are taken up by transporters into liver cells. Glycerol and fatty acids are synthesized from the intermediates of glycolysis. Synthesis of fatty acid occurs in cytoplasm. Triacylglycerol can be obtained from diet and also synthesized in liver cells. Ammonia and keto acid are formed in transamination.arrow_forward1.
