mRNA Capping: The Essential Cap That Governs Gene Expression, Stability, and Translation
In the intricate choreography of gene expression, the 5′ cap of messenger RNA stands as a gatekeeper. The process known as mRNA capping occurs co-transcriptionally in eukaryotes and most specialised organisms, shaping transcript fate from stability and export to efficient translation. This article delves into the chemistry, biology, and biotechnological applications of mRNA capping, offering…
