Summary Introduction

To review:

The way in which the three-dimensional structure of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acids) contributes to the regulation of its expression.

Introduction:

After transcription, the translation of mRNA can be controlled by the activities of proteins. To control the amount of protein formation, the cell regulates translation and the three-dimensional structure of mRNA also plays role in gene expression regulation.
