- HW 5-7 are available for study/practice testing.
- There were some mistakes in the grading of HW07, Q18 (now corrected).
- I would like to clarify some lecture material:
- Regulatory transcription factors (RTF) are proteins that recognize (bind) regulatory sequences located near the core promoter These regulatory sequences are known as response elements, control elements or regulatory elements. The binding of RTF proteins to these elements, affects the transcription of an associated gene. A regulatory protein that increases the rate of transcription is termed an activator. The sequence it binds is called an enhancer. A regulatory protein that decreases the rate of transcription is termed a repressor. The sequence it binds is called a silencer.
- RNA editing does not "change polypeptides", it changes mRNA, which results in changes in polypeptide sequences.
- HW08, TLM10, Lab Quiz 4 (Holland sections) are released (10/25); due Next Tues (11/3). The delayed due date is allow you flexibility in preparing for your exam. Putting them all off will be counterproductive.

If there is a problem, ask to speak with Shelly Olson (text book manager). She told Professor Holland that she would make sure you could return your clicker. E-instruction: call 800 856-0732. Have your clicker ID and purchase information (e.g., credit card information). You have up to 30 days to get a refund from date of purchase. I would do it this week to avoid any problem.

- For each Lecture file there is a corresponding chapter listed above. At the Brooker's website you will find a variety of resources. All categories are fair game (but focus on those questions/resources that relate to information/topics covered in lecture). Your exams will include material from those resources
