How are genes related to protein structure, mutations and by what methods are gene expression regulated?
This is a "nuts and bolts" lesson that identifies how protein structure is related to the DNA of the gene. It goes on to stress the importance of order->shape->function, especially as it relates to mutations. This lesson also examines the factors which can influence how/when/why genes are expressed.
