The following information is about Molecular Function.

Molecular Function Defined

One of the three categories used by the Gene Ontology project, molecular function describes the tasks performed by individual gene products; examples are transcription factor and DNA binding.

This definition is in context to Yeast Genome. See more contextual defintions for Molecular Function.

New RNA Processing Mechanism And New Class Of Small RNAs

Published December 1, 2008, 10:40 pm, Science Daily

Scientists report their discoveries of a previously unknown mechanism in the nucleus that processes non-coding RNA molecules to generate what might be a new class of small RNAs.

Protein-misfolding accelerates yeast evolution

Published November 30, 2008, 5:50 pm, News-Medical-Net

Under stress, yeast cells can unleash a remarkable mechanism based on protein-misfolding that gives them new characteristics without requiring genetic mutations.

A Potentially Universal Mechanism Of Aging Identified By Researchers

Published November 30, 2008, 3:14 am, Medical News Today

Like our current financial crisis, the aging process might also be a product of excessive deregulation. Researchers have discovered that DNA damage decreases a cell's ability to regulate which genes are turned on and off in particular settings. This mechanism, which applies both to fungus and to us, might represent a universal culprit for aging.

New RNA Processing Mechanism And A New Class Of Small RNAs Uncovered By Scientists At CSHL

Published November 30, 2008, 3:13 am, Medical News Today

A very small fraction of our genetic material--about 2%-- performs the crucial task scientists once thought was the sole purpose of the genome: to serve as a blueprint for the production of proteins, the molecules that make cells work and sustain life. This 2% of human DNA is converted into intermediary molecules called RNAs, which in turn carry instructions within cells for protein manufacture.

Specific DNA Variations Of The Serotonin Transporter Gene Can Influence Drinking Intensity

Published November 29, 2008, 3:40 pm, Science Daily

The brain's serotonergic system plays an important role in alcohol preference and consumption. New findings show that specific DNA sequence variations of the serotonin transporter gene can influence drinking intensity among alcohol-dependent individuals.

An Emergency Brake In The Brain

Published November 28, 2008, 5:12 am, Medical News Today

Brain researchers at the University of Oslo in Norway have penetrated deeply into the innermost secrets of the brain to find out how brain cells can survive a stroke. Strokes are usually caused by occlusion of one of the blood vessels in the brain.

Potentially Universal Mechanism Of Aging Identified

Published November 26, 2008, 10:29 pm, Science Daily

Researchers have uncovered what may be a universal cause of aging, one that applies to both single cell organisms such as yeast and multicellular organisms, including mammals. This is the first time that such an evolutionarily conserved aging mechanism has been identified between such diverse organisms. The mechanism probably dates back more than one billion years. The study shows how DNA damage ...
