The commitment
complex (E complex):- initiates a splicing
activity. This complex comprises U1-snRNP, which binds to the 5'
splice site by RNA-RNA base pairing , Branch Point Binding Protein
(PBP) which binds branch point, the splicing factor U2AF, which
binds with the polypyrimidine tract and members of SR protein
family. The name SR protein is given due to the presence of an
Arg-Ser-rich region. SR proteins interact with one another via
their Arg-Ser-rich regions and also bind to RNA. Binding of U1
snRNP to the 5'splice site is the first step in splicing. The E
complex is converted to the A complex when U2 snRNP binds to the
branch site.
The
pre-spliceosome complex (A
complex):-comprises the commitment
complex plus U2-snRNP, the latter attached to the branch site. At
this stage, an association between U1-snRNP and the U2-snRNP brings
the 5' splice site into close proximity to the branch point.
The spliceosome is formed when U4/U6-snRNP ( a single snRNP
containing two snRNAs) and U5-snRNP attach to the pre-spliceosome
complex. Following formation of the A complex, the other snRNPs
involved in splicing associate with the complex in a definite
order. The B1 complex is formed when U5-snRNPs binds to the A
complex. This complex is regarded as the spliceosome, since it
contains the components needed for the splicing reaction. It is
converted to the B2 complex after U1 snRNP is released. The release
of U1 snRNP allows U6 snRNP to interact with the 5'splice site. The
catalytic reaction is triggered by the release of U4. This requires
hydrolysis of ATP. When U4 dissociates from U6 snRNP, U6 snRNP can
pair with U2 snRNA to form the catalytic active site (C complex).
this resultss in additional interactions that bring the 3' splice
site to close to the 5' site and the branch point. All three
positions in the intron are now in proximity and the two
transesterifications occur as a linked reaction, possibly catalyzed
by U6-snRNP, completing the splicing process. During splicing, ATP
is required for assembly of the spliceosome, but the
transesterification reactions do not require ATP.
Define the marketing environment and then select two components
of the internal environment and two components of the external
environment and their impact on marketing management
a. What are the two
components of an investor’s required rate of return?
Explain.
b. In an efficient market, a stock
with a standard deviation of returns of 12% could have a higher
expected return than a stock with a standard deviation of 10%
because the beta for the higher standard deviation stock could be
lower than the beta for the lower standard deviation stock.
Do you agree? Explain.

1) What are the two main components of agreement, the first
element of a valid contract?
2) Read the case of Lucy v Zehmer on page 232. Discounting the
claim that he was drunk (that would be a lack of capacity issue in
Ch 14) what was Zehmer's main argument against the fact that he
made a contractual offer? Why did the Supreme Court of Virginia not
agree with Zehmer's argument?
3) What are the 3 elements of...

shape of a typical firm’s average cost curve given this? Draw a
diagram and explain.
