Key Terminology from RNA Processing

Flashcards covering important terminology related to RNA translation and processing.

mRNA eucalyptus

A type of mRNA that can be processed separately during translation.

Initiation factor 4G

A protein that aids in the initiation phase of translation by helping to recruit the ribosome.

Initiation factor 4A

A helicase that plays a role in unwinding RNA, facilitating the initiation of translation.

Helicase property

An enzyme function that unwinds or separates the strands of nucleic acids, allowing access to the underlying sequences.

RNA processing

The modification of RNA after transcription but before translation, including capping, polyadenylation, and splicing.
