Protein Lover Design

Molecular model of the disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L, mid blue) protein complexed with a histone (dark blue). Histones are proteins that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) wraps around before being packaged into chromosomes. DOT1L transfers a methyl group to a lysine amino acid residue on the histone, a process known as methylation. This transfer can only occur if the protein ubiquitin (light blue) has already bound to the histone. Histone methylation can activate or repress the transcription of genes without changing the actual genetic sequence and so is an example of an epigenetic change.

The genetic code describes the information contained in DNA, which is transcribed into RNA messages (or mRNA), then translated when codons (consisting of groups of three nucleotides) are "decoded" into amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Each cell has “machinery” that can read the codons in mRNA, which direct the synthesis of proteins by specifying the order of amino acids used to build each protein. The genetic code has 64 different codons. This code specifies how the different combinations of nucleotides that make up these codons are “decoded” to tell the machinery each amino acid to add as a protein is built. All but three of the codons "code" for amino acids, and the remaining three are called stop codons. The stop codons a...
