Through RNA interference, siRNA with a specific base sequence binds to and destroys mRNA with a complementary sequence, preventing translation and reducing protein production.
Mediante la interferencia de ARN, el siRNA con una secuencia de bases específica se une y destruye el ARNm con una secuencia complementaria, lo que impide la traducción y reduce la producción de proteínas.
| Front | How does RNA interference work? |
|---|---|
| Back | - siRNA with a specific base sequence - binds to and destroys mRNA with a complementary base sequence - translation cannot occur - less protein produced |
