Outline: - explanation of Grb2, SH2, SH3, SOS, Ras and Ras variants - structure of proline amino acid - explanation of monomeric G proteins (on / off states) vs. heterotrimeric G proteins - background of RNAPII, transcription, pre-mRNA, exons, introns, splicing - structure of isoprene molecule, cysteine amino acid, farnesyl group, thioester link
I think it's not the coding strand that's read by RNAP-II but instead the template (non-coding) strand. The pre-mRNA is complementary to the non-coding (template) strand but is identical to the coding and so is used to code for amino acids when the bases are grouped as codons.
