The process of RNA editing is the alteration of the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA after it has been transcribed from DNA, but before it is translated into a protein. RNA editing occurs by two distinct mechanisms:<em><u /><u>Substitution</u> <u>editing </u></em>and <u><em>Insertion/</em></u><em></em><u><em>deletion</em></u><em> <u>editing</u></em>.

<u><em>Substitution editing</em></u> is the chemical alteration of individual nucleotides. These alterations are catalyzed by enzymes that recognize a specific target sequence of nucleotides:

*Cytidine Deaminases that convert a C in the RNA to uracil.

*<em />adenosine deaminases that convert an A to inosine,which the ribosome translates as a G.<span>Thus a CAG codon</span><span> (for Gln) can be converted to a CGG codon (for Arg).

<em><u>*Insertion/deletion editing</u></em><em><u /></em><u /> is the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in an RNA.

These alterations are mediated by guide RNA molecules that base-pair as best they can with the RNA to be edited and serve as a template for the addition( or removal) in the target.</span>

Vegan vegetarians must rely on complimenting proteins in order to get all the essential amino acids. choose the best combination
liubo4ka [24]
If you want a complete protein in one food, tofu is probably your best bet. However, since you're probably not going to want to eat that every day, the best thing to do is eat a variety of high protein foods. Mix your proteins in order to get complete proteins. So, have say a grain (quinoa, millet, or brain rice are good) and have it with beans, or tempeh, or seitan, or nuts, etc. If you search for specific foods on that site, it'll show you which of the amino acids that food contains, and let you search for foods with complementary proteins. So if you want to be extra sure you're getting enough complete proteins, check what you're eating to see the amino acids in all of the different foods.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

134 degrees F to degrees Celsius is 56.667

134 degrees F to degrees Kelvin is 329.817

Explanation:

Formula for F to C= (134°F − 32) × 5/9 = 56.667°C

Formula for F to K= (134°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 329.817K
