A double blind study is the most rigorous clinical research design because, in addition to the randomization of subjects, which reduces the risk of bias, it can eliminate or minimize the placebo effect which is a further challenge to the validity of a study.
Transcription by RNA polymerase. An RNA strand is synthesized in the 5â²âââ3â² direction from a locally single stranded region of DNA. (After E. J. Gardner, M. J. Simmons, and D. P. Snustad, Principles of Genetics, (more...).igure 10-6. Transcription of two genes. (a) RNA polymerase moves from the 3â² end of the template strand, creating an RNA strand that grows in a 5â²âââ3â² direction (because it must be antiparallel to the template strand).
Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzymeâ RNA polymerase âusing DNA as a template, a process known as transcription. Initiation of transcription begins with the binding of the enzyme to a promoter sequence in the DNA (usually found upstream of a gene).ne of these active processes is protein synthesis, a universal function wherein mRNA molecules direct the assembly of proteins on ribosomes. This process uses transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to deliver amino acids to the ribosome, where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) then links amino acids together to form proteins.
