Read Chapter and Study Figures
Study Summary, Key Terms; Questions
Flashcards
Reread chapter carefully in quiet place while taking
notes
Create your own outline of chapter
Practice diagrams on paper; the text discusses each step
Quiz study partner
Discuss subjects with friends
Grill your T.A. at recitation about the subject matter
Test Tactics
• Assess your strengths/weaknesses
• Survey test and determine pace
• Fill in high points questions if you know the
answers
• Rapidly go through MC and fill ins and answer the
ones you know
• Use remaining time to use the process of
elimination to better statistical chances on the
remaining multiple choice
• Revisit high point questions and try to garner
some partial credit
• Do not dilute correct pieces with too much random
guessing
Syllabus Change
• We will only go to Chapter 8 by the end of
next week.
• Read Chapter 8 by Wednesday
RNA Processing
• Prokaryotes
– rRNAs
– tRNAs
• Eukaryotes
– rRNAs
– tRNAs
– mRNAs

Eukaryotic mRNA Processing
Splicing: Spliceosome
• snRNAs
– 50-200 nt
– U1,U2,U5,U6,
• snRNPs
– snRNA +6-10 proteins
Eukaryotic mRNA Processing
Splicing: Alternative Splicing
RNA Degradation
• Half life of mRNAs
– rRNAs and tRNAs: very long
– mRNAs
• Bacteria : approx. 2-3 minutes
• Mammals: < 30 min to >20 hours
