Billzene thanks so much for your help, I actually understand it now!

Hi everyone,
Is anyone able to explain briefly what the difference in function is between the 5' methyl G cap and 3' poly A tail added during RNA processing, as I thought they both functioned to stabilise the mRNA strand but when I came across it in an exam paper it said that the methyl cap protects against attacks from enzymes (which I don't quite understand).
Thanks!
