An apparatus in which propping mechanisms and seat mechanisms augment a throwing game target with the ability to alternately function as a chair when it is not in use as a target. The throwing target components, the components of the propping mechanisms, and the components of the seat mechanisms are all capable of collapse or removal to facilitate the apparatus to be carried, transported or stowed.

A multi-purpose folding chair is provided. The chair includes two supporting side plates arranged in a corresponding configuration, two connecting plates, a seat plate, and a kneeling plate. Each of the two connecting plates is formed with a first folding line. The two connecting plates are arranged between the two supporting side plates and pivotally connected to the two supporting side plates, such that the two connecting plates are foldable in a flat manner along the first folding line. The seat plate is formed with a second folding line and is arranged between the two supporting side plates. Two sides of the seat plate respectively and pivotally connected to the two supporting side plates. The seat plate is foldable in a flat manner through the second folding line. The kneeling plate is formed with a third folding line and is arranged between the two supporting side plates.

The present invention relates to stabilization of RNA, in particular mRNA, and an increase in mRNA translation. The present invention particularly relates to a modification of RNA, in particular in vitro-transcribed RNA, resulting in increased transcript stability and/or translation efficiency. According to the invention, it was demonstrated that certain sequences in the 3-untranslated region (UTR) of an RNA molecule improve stability and translation efficiency.
