1. Some make a protein, but others are so corrupted that they can no longer do anything. 2. Then, together, the proteins travel back into the nucleus and shut off the very machinery necessary for making more protein. 3. Amgen inserts the gene for making Epogen into Chinese hamster ovary cells, which then make the protein. 4. And the two genes which make the proteins are abnormally active at the same time. 5. And some organisms create such amino acids for purposes other than making proteins. 6. Another way to figure out what a gene does is to discover what protein it makes and what that protein looks like, says Peter Kim of the Whitehead. 7. As soon as Borrelia senses that it is being transferred to a mammal bitten by the tick, it switches to making another protein, OspC. 8. At a certain temperature, all the worms make the proteins. 9. Basbaum said that research has shown that, in cases of people who suffer from chronic pain, the brain makes proteins that it normally does not manufacture. 10. A particularly good kind of RNA to examine is found in the ribosomes that make proteins inside cells. |
