Across
  1. 2. Hard to say, but still helps you to fold sweetly.
  2. 6. "I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be", nor an attendant Lord, a mere messenger who mutters to myself— Soliloquies? A bit pretentious to call them that.
  3. 8. A familiar trio, splitting and coming together in a complex dance of signals.
  4. 10. Happily lives in a bubble, but is where and when a lot of the action happens.
  5. 14. Octomeric protein with a flexible region that can be covalently modified.
  6. 16. Complicated in hundreds of ways, absolutely necessary for things to properly begin.
  7. 17. Ground level source of a useful, but toxic, derivative that prompts A loss in translation.
  8. 18. Both a prized person and a process, arranged things first.
  9. 21. Level study of the shape of things to become.
  10. 22. A transcriptional turbo boost that unusually twists to the left.
  11. 23. A dog may wag this, but it also is A critical signal for a transcript.
  12. 24. Unit-wise, it is THE's speed.
Down
  1. 1. First done by Ed the separatist, but many use it to be very sequence specific.
  2. 3. An enzyme in the removal business. Likes to keep things tight and tidy.
  3. 4. They may be ancient, but they don't always want to stop when they see UAG.
  4. 5. These shapeshifters ride work horses that link signal to response in cells.
  5. 7. A doubly Nobel technique maker.
  6. 9. A messenger of sorts; or just a neighbourhood gossip who talks to anyone who bothers to hear.
  7. 11. The EC50 for the gastrin-induced release of histamine from isolated ECL cells changes from 5 to 15 but the maximal responses remain the same. Could this be an antagonism of this sort?
  8. 12. RNA pol II gets this job done.
  9. 13. An important site for bonding before exiting the translating stage.
  10. 15. Critical to get the final message out, bacteria don't bother doing this, as they don't have much to lose.
  11. 19. Although sometimes leading or trailing, its importance is that it doesn't result in much and wouldn't be understood anyway.
  12. 20. Useful in and out of nuclei, pair bonding skills and their U-nique third member do CUT across multiple genomic processes.
