Which mechanism promotes RISC binding to a specific target? Complementation binding of a double-stranded mRNA molecule to an mRNA target. Complementation binding of a single-stranded DNA molecule to an mRNA target. Complementation binding of a single-stranded RNA molecule to an mRNA target. (b. and c).

Step 1
These small RNAs are single-stranded and they guide the RISC to the specific mRNA targets. Secondly, the mechanism that promotes RISC binding to a specific target is the complementarity between the small RNA incorporated in the RISC and the target mRNA. This Show more…
