The initial step in gene expression is the transcription of the DNA molecule into an exact. RNA copy. As already discussed, the basic unit of heredity, the gene, is a double stranded DNA. molecule and the information in the gene is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides.
âPatient activationâ describes the extent to which individuals manage their own healthcare. This study evaluated the association of patient activation, depressive symptoms and quality of life in a primary care setting.
This allows a very quick response if cell suicide is needed. In order for apoptosis to occur, the initiator caspases must be cleaved and dimerize. Thus activated, they must then cleave the effector caspases (aka pro-caspases), triggering a âcaspase cascadeâ. This amplifies the number of activated caspases in the cell.
