What has a greater influence on protein levels? (1 point)

Polyamorous affinity has a greater influence because you cannot start reading MRNA without it.

1 answer

The statement about "polyamorous affinity" seems to be a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding molecular biology. In the context of protein levels, the key factors primarily influencing them include:

  1. mRNA Levels: The amount of mRNA transcribed from DNA directly affects protein synthesis. Higher mRNA levels generally lead to higher protein levels.

  2. Translation Efficiency: Factors that affect how efficiently ribosomes translate mRNA into protein also play a crucial role.

  3. Post-Translational Modifications: After proteins are synthesized, modifications can influence their stability, activity, and degradation.

  4. Degradation Rates: The rate at which proteins are broken down also affects the overall protein levels in a cell.

If "polyamorous affinity" is meant to refer to something related to molecular biology or biochemistry, please clarify or provide further context so I can assist you better!
