PROTEINS101


The goal of this page is to provide you with a crash course on RNA, hitting on all the major functions and features that will be relevant to synthetic biology. A lot of the complexity and niche occurrences inherent to the world of DNA have been stripped away for the sake of simplicity, so please use this guide as a starting block for deeper learning - rather than as a definitive guide.
I also need to find spare time to draw some diagrams, so I’ve borrowed and referenced the diagrams of my betters in the meantime.
