A ribosome binding site (RBS) is a sequence of nucleotides in mRNA that serves as the attachment point for ribosomes to initiate translation. It plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression by influencing the efficiency and rate of protein synthesis.

Sequence of nucleotides

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized. It plays a crucial role in the process of gene expression, acting as a template for translating genetic code into functional proteins.

An attachment point is the threshold value in insurance and reinsurance contracts at which coverage begins to apply. It is critical in risk management, determining the financial responsibility of insurers or reinsurers before a claim is paid out.
