Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the synthesis of proteins by way of DNA interactions. This singular process is responsible for the construction of all the various proteins which the body requires to fulfill the functions
necessary to keep the organism alive; without such a process, life as we know it would not be possible. This paper will explore the topic of DNA interactions between proteins.
This paragraph helps the student give a summary overview of DNA - protein interactions. It is widely known in biological study that DNA contains the "blueprints" which are used by
the body in the construction of more complex structures, ranging from individual proteins all the way up to extremely sophisticated organ structures (Donald, 2007). Proteins are the specific units created
to carry out a variety of highly specified processes, as determined by their organic structure (Donald, 2007). The two units, working together, control virtually all of the major functions of
a biological organism from the expression of genes (controlling such factors as ones hair color, height, and possibly even psychological temperament) to the replication and repair of DNA strands as
they begin to break down, allowing life to perpetuate itself (Donald, 2007). As DNA provides the contextual framework according to which proteins are assembled, the interactions that take place will
determine the ultimate shape and function of the particular proteins that are produced (Baldi & Lathrop, 2001). The arrangement of amino acids into a particular "folded" shape by the DNA
blueprint indicates with extreme specificity what task the created protein will eventually carry out within the body, and to some extent, the success that that protein will have with the
process in question (make no mistake; DNA-protein interactions can sometimes go horribly awry) (Baldi & Lathrop, 2001). As of yet, the exact nature of protein folding is still a matter
