The team decided to put together a pattern-matching game based around these chemical reactions and add a little humor, resulting in Monsieur Baguette presents... RNA transcription of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.


Game: Monsieur Baguette presents... RNA transcription of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Developers: Jane Elizabeth Anne Reid with Opposable Games

Concept: RNA Polymerase II is the key enzyme responsible for the transcription of RNA in yeast cells, in a process that requires phosporylation of serines and tyrosines in a specific sequence. The team decided to put together a pattern-matching game based around these chemical reactions and add a little humor, resulting in Monsieur Baguette presents... RNA transcription of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.
