tailieunhanh - Biochemistry of Signal Transduction and Regulantion

The transfer of genetic information from the level of the nucleic acid sequence of a gene to the level of the amino acid sequence of a protein or to the nucleotide sequence of RNA is termed gene expression. The entire process of gene expression in eucaryotes includes the following steps: | Gerhard Krauss Biochemistry of Signal Transduction and Regulation Third Completely Revised Edition WILEY-VCH WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH Co.
