    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome-binding_site

    The RBS in prokaryotes is a region upstream of the start codon. This region of the mRNA has the consensus 5'-AGGAGG-3', also called the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence. [1] The complementary sequence (CCUCCU), called the anti-Shine-Dalgarno (ASD) is contained in the 3’ end of the 16S region of the smaller (30S) ribosomal subunit.

  3. Kozak consensus sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozak_consensus_sequence

    Variation within the Kozak sequence alters the "strength" thereof. Kozak sequence strength refers to the favorability of initiation, affecting how much protein is synthesized from a given mRNA. [4] [9] The A nucleotide of the "AUG" is delineated as +1 in mRNA sequences with the preceding base being labeled as −1, i.e. there is no 0 position ...

  4. Initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_factor

    The cap end of the mRNA, being the 5’ end, is brought to the complex where the 43S ribosomal complex can bind and scan the mRNA for the start codon. During this process, the 60S ribosomal subunit binds and the large 80S ribosomal complex is formed. The eIF4G plays a role, as it interacts with the polyA-binding protein, attracting the mRNA.

  5. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    The Shine–Dalgarno sequence binds to a complementary pyrimidine-rich sequence on the 3' end of the 16S rRNA part of the 30S ribosomal subunit. The binding of these complementary sequences ensures that the 30S ribosomal subunit is bound to the mRNA and is aligned such that the initiation codon is placed in the 30S portion of the P-site.

  6. Ribosome display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome_display

    Ribosome display is a technique used to perform in vitro protein evolution to create proteins that can bind to a desired ligand.The process results in translated proteins that are associated with their mRNA progenitor which is used, as a complex, to bind to an immobilized ligand in a selection step.

  7. RNA-induced silencing complex - Wikipedia

    preventing the binding of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) to the 5' cap. It has been noted RISC can deadenylate the 3' poly(A) tail which might contribute to repression via the 5' cap. [2] [17] preventing the binding of the 60S ribosomal subunit binding to the mRNA can repress translation. [20]

    RNA-binding proteins (often abbreviated as RBPs) are proteins that bind to the double or single stranded RNA [1] ...

  9. Stability constants of complexes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_constants_of...

    In coordination chemistry, a stability constant (also called formation constant or binding constant) is an equilibrium constant for the formation of a complex in solution. It is a measure of the strength of the interaction between the reagents that come together to form the complex. There are two main kinds of complex: compounds formed by the ...
