Receptor Protein.
What protein recognizes certain molecules bringing them across a membrane?
channel or transport or receptor
Where are the protein-synthesizing instructions stores on DNA molecules?
Certain sequences of nucleotides code for the production of specific proteins.
A protein on the cell membrane that recognizes and binds to specific substances is called a?
Enzyme
What transmits information into the cell by reacting to certain molecules?
The RECEPTOR protein
Haw does antisense technology work?
Antisense technology is based on stopping the production of a protein. In order for a protein to be formed, the mRNA has to be translated (read by the ribosomes). The happens in the cytoplasm. There are stretches of nucleic acid bases called cDNA that are complimentary to specific mRNA sequences. These cDNA molecules can bind to the mRNA molecules and inactivate them. When mRNA is inactivated, it cannot be translated into a protein and a protein will not be formed. Since every protein is made by a certain mRNA, by inactivating the mRNA using cDNA molecules, the production of the protein can be stopped. This process is called mRNA silencing or antisense technology
Do restriction enzymes cut protein molecules at specific sites?
No. restriction enzymes do not cut proteins. restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at specific sites called restriction sites.
What process involves the use of specific carrier molecules?
two processes requiring the use of protein carrier molecules?
What smaller molecules make protein molecules?
Smaller molecules called amino acids make protein molecules.
What do cells have of enzymes to act as biological catalyst?
enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts
How does facilitated diffusion work?
It is a passive process utilizing a protein carrier or channel.
