Study Notes
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
- Reverse transcription is NOT a component of the central dogma.
- The central dogma was developed by Francis Crick.
Genetic Information Flow
- The central dogma states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins.
Prions
- Prions are infectious proteins that cause normal proteins to fold abnormally.
- Prions are not composed of DNA or RNA.
Prion Disease
- Prions cause diseases such as Mad Cow Disease, Scrapie, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
