A nucleic acid (either DNA/RNA) is made of a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine and uracil), a pentose sugar and a phosphate group. This forms a nucleotide (or a nucleoside monophosphate), and is the basic unit for the DNA double helical structure.

What is the mechanism by which protein kinase A is activated by the second messenger?

Protein kinase A is activated by the second messenger through a process called phosphorylation. When the second messenger binds to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A, it causes a conformational change that releases the catalytic subunit. This released catalytic subunit is then able to phosphorylate target proteins, leading to various cellular responses.


What are the major components of a ribosome?

A ribosome is composed of two subunits, a large subunit and a small subunit, made up of a combination of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein molecules. The large subunit is responsible for peptide bond formation during protein synthesis, while the small subunit helps in mRNA recognition and initiation of protein synthesis.
