Introduction to Transcription Termination
In prokaryotes there are two types of termination that may occur. These are Rho Dependent Termination and Rho Independent Termination. Termination is controlled by specific nucleotide sequences called terminator sequences. These sequences are defined as points where the rate of addition of the next RNA nucleotide is slower than the rate of nucleotide release.

Rho Factor (ρ)
Introduction
Rho (Greek lettering - ρ) factor is an essential prokaryotic protein. Rho forms a hexameric ring structure with an open configuration. It contains six subunit laterally organised with a distance of 12 Angstroms at the opening. This is to accommodate the single stranded RNA molecule. In E. coli, Rho is a 274.6 kD hexamer with identical subunits. It also has 419 amino acid residues. (2)

In this prokaryotic specific mechanism, termination occurs by the formation of a stem loop hairpin structure which occurs at a palindrome.
Palindrome
A palindromic sequence occurs where a series of base pairs in the 5' to 3' direction on the DNA or RNA strand is repeated in the inverse sequence further along the same strand. This is the termination signal for the Rho Independent Termination. These sequences are able to base pair together as the RNA strand folds over on itself to form a stem loop structure as it is being transcribes. The sequence of the termination signal is followed by a series of Adenines which transcribes to a poly-Uracil tail on RNA. (1)
Stem Loop Structure
The stem loop hairpin structure is typically 7 to 20 base pairs long and is rich in Guanine-Cytosine bonding. These base pairs are connected by three hydrogen bonds giving strength and stability to the RNA duplex. (4)

Tn 4351 was originally isolated from bacteroides fragilis [30] . The transposon was successfully introduced into Cytophaga succinicans, Flavobacterium meningosepticum, Flexibacter canadiansis, Flexibacter strain SFI and Sporocytophaga myxococcoides by conjugation [25]. Tn 4351carries two antibiotic resistance gene. One of the codes for resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin which is expressed in bactroides but not in E.Coli. The other gene codes for resistance in tetracycline and is expressed in aerobically grpwn E. coli, but not in anaerobically grpwn E. coli or in bacteroides.

For most sequences at position 4 and 5 we observe only the nucleotides G and T, respectively. There may be rare cases where other nucleotides may also be found. To consider such observations, we need to do a process called additive smoothing or Laplace smoothing to smooth the categorical data. [9] In this case, we add 4 sequences: AAAAAAAAA, CCCCCCCCC, GGGGGGGG, TTTTTTTTT.

The Solid sequencing platform, produced by Technologies/Applied Biosystems (ABI), performs sequencing by ligation method. Similar like the Roche 454 library preparation, genomic double strand DNA were sheared into small pieces and ligated with two types of adatptors P1 and P2 on two ends. One end with P1 adaptor binds onto the surface of the magnetic bead and emulsion PCR takes place to amplify single nucleotide fragment. Then the oil was washed out and four fluorescent labeled di-bases probes were added into the beads mixture. By matching the 1st and 2nd position of the template by di-base probes, fluorescence was detected and the extra tail with fluorescent probe is cleaved out.

ABSTRACT NRC-04, a novel antimicrobial peptide derived from skin mucous secretions of flat fish winter flounder, shows a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. In order to understand the conformational change of NRC-04 in different types of membrane, our team did experiments on NRC-04 with negatively charged bacterial surface membrane mimetic micelles sodium dodecyl sulphate(SDS), zwitterionic eukaryotic middle membrane mimetic micelles dodecylphosphocholine(DPC), gram-negative bacteria outer membrane mimetic micelles Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and bacterial inner membrane mimetic micelles 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol(POPG). Fluorescence test shows that the C-terminus tryptophan residue of NRC-04 interacts with the hydrophobic

Anaphase occurs next in which the cell’s centromeres divide and the sister chromatids separate and move to the opposite sides of the cell. Then comes telophase in which the nuclear membrane begins to reform and the chromosome begin to decondense. Also the spindle fibers disappear. We end this

R plasmids are responsible for carrying the gene for resistance to antibiotics e.g. ampicillin, which are normally used in the lab. The normal function of a plasmid is to transport genetic information essential to the survival of the bacteria. (Barnnet, 1995). The plasmid can work as vectors for introducing strange DNA. Restriction enzymes are normally used cut foreign DNA and placed it into the plasmid vectors.

Myrtle rust is an exotic rust fungus originating from South American region, detected for the first time in Australia (New south wales) on 22nd April 2010, the fungus was found growing on syncarpia glomulifera, callistemon viminalis and agonis fluxuosa plants. The infected plants can be easily identified from powdery bright orange-yellow or yellow spores on fruits, buds, leaves and shoots. As the rust fungus is considered to be a biosecurity threat, a state emergency response program was initiated by the Australian government, which conducted surveys in NSW in 2010, the data collected from the surveys shows that the fungus has already been recorded on 107 host species in 30 genera.

Function of RNA is based on its shape and folding. Some shapes form DNA and some bind pieces of proteins together. Folding of RNA is affected by the cellular environment and factors like proteins, metabolites also modulate the fate of an RNA. Proteins, ligands and other molecules recognize tertiary folding in RNA which results in biochemical pathways that affects cellular metabolism. Some RNA molecules bind up to form DNA, some cut up RNA and some bond pieces of protein together.

A group of 3 nucleotides is called codons. Each codon on the mRNA molecule matches a corresponding anti-codon on the base of a tRNA molecule. The tRNA anti-codon attaches to the mRNA codon. Then, the larger subunit of the ribosome disconnects an amino acid from a corresponding tRNA molecule and adds it to the growing protein chain. When the mRNA is completely decoded a protein is made
