How much is nucleic acids tested on protein modeling? I saw in the rules manual that they cover macromolecules (e.g. nucleic acids and proteins).
Based on my knowledge, I would say just know the relations between nucleic acids and proteins (e.g. the Central Dogma). They might ask like post-translational modifications and stuff like that. It will comprise of a small minority most likely. Most specifically, they could also ask for interactions between them within the APOBEC3A/ssDNA complex.eagerlearner102 wrote: How much is nucleic acids tested on protein modeling?

I recommend it! It's a good textbook and it contains some chapters on protein structure and folding. It goes very in depth and I personally enjoyed reading this book. However, I would still seek out other sources besides Lehninger's book, like practice exams, the MSOE website, and any reputable sources on the web.eagerlearner102 wrote: ↑September 26th, 2019, 9:23 pm This sounds kind of extra but would any of you recommend Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry? I went on a Scioly wiki link about protein modeling that referenced to chapters in Lehninger.
It depends on the exam. However, if it's on the rules, it's fair game. The more you know, the better. Knowing nucleic acids will also help you understand CRISPR function better, so it doesn't hurt to go in depth when studying nucleic acids.eagerlearner102 wrote: ↑October 28th, 2019, 11:39 am How much is nucleic acids tested on protein modeling?
