Channel: Patricia Flatt
Date: 2020-11-24

In this lesson, we discuss the three major post-transcriptional modifications of eukaryotic mRNA, including polyadenylation, 5'-methylguanylate cap formation, and intron splicing. Details about the spliceosome and the two transesterification reactions used during the intron mechanism of splicing are highlighted, as well as the snRNP molecules that mediate the process.
