Programmed Alternative Reading of the Genetic Code

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intricacies of translation processes, this book delves into initiation, elongation, and termination in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It discusses error correction mechanisms, including structural bases for correcting translational errors and the role of ribosome editing. The text also explores frameshifting phenomena, distinguishing between spontaneous and programmed frameshifting, and examines specific genes and retrotransposons, providing insights into the molecular dynamics of translation regulation.
