Many covalent molecules have central atoms that do not have eight electrons in their Lewis structures. These molecules fall into three categories:

Cognitive Dissonance

36.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

1.0K
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Termination of Translation

27.4K
The large ribosomal subunit has several important structures essential to translation. These include the peptidyl transferase center (PTC) - which is the site where the peptide bond is formed - and a large, internal, water-filled tube through which the nascent polypeptide moves. This latter structure is called the Peptide Exit Tunnel, and it begins at the PTC and spans the body of the large ribosomal subunit. During translation, as the nascent polypeptide chain is synthesized, it passes through...

Translation

17.5K
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • RNA Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Eukaryotic gene expression relies on cap-dependent translation.
  • Canonical translation is inhibited by stress, viral infection, and hypoxia.
  • Alternative translation initiation mechanisms are employed under stress conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of RNA structure in non-canonical translation initiation.
  • To focus on Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRES) and Repeat-Associated non-AUG (RAN) translation.
  • To highlight the importance of RNA structure in regulating gene expression during cellular stress.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of non-canonical translation mechanisms.
  • Analysis of RNA structure's role in IRES-mediated translation.
  • Examination of RNA structure's role in RAN translation.

Main Results:

  • RNA secondary structures are crucial for alternative translation initiation.
  • IRES elements facilitate cap-independent ribosome recruitment.
  • RAN translation relies heavily on RNA structure and is linked to neurological diseases.

Conclusions:

  • RNA structure plays a critical role in non-canonical translation initiation.
  • IRES and RAN translation represent key alternative pathways.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is vital for comprehending gene regulation and disease.
