Exonic splicer enhancers Average length of intron ~3500 bases exons are ~ 150 bases long SR proteins (serine-arginine rich) interact with exonic splicing enhancers, mediate cooperative binding U1 snRNP to a true 5’ splice site. This helps forming cross-exon recognition complex
Membranes and lipids Wikipedia Functions: compartmentation, maintain internal milieu, transport, energy transduction, signal propagation, cell-cell communication, ingestion, secretion, sensation, storage etc.
