The peptidyltransferase reaction begins with the hydrolysis or breaking of the bond between the carboxyl group of the last amino acid added to the growing polypeptide and the 3' end of the tRNA in the P site. How does the ribosome get the necessary activation energy to catalyze that hydrolysis reaction?
Tetracycline antibiotics bind to the A site on the bacterial ribosome and prevent further translation. Where would you expect polypeptides to accumulate on tetracycline-inhibited ribosomes? Given what tetracycline does, how does this effect cause the bacterial cell to die?
Geneticists have found that when they cut out a eukaryotic gene from genomic DNA that they can hybridize one of the strands of that gene to the mRNA for that gene by allowing the strands to hydrogen bond. Why is it sometimes claimed that alternative splicing of exons from a single gene results in a set of proteins of related function?
Consider the following tRNAs, where the numbered forms represent the amino acids associated with them, answer briefly: PICTURE Question 1: The numbering indicates the order in which these tRNAs are recruited to the A site of the ribosome. Write the sequence of the mRNA being translated in the 5' - 3' direction Question 2: What is the amino acid sequence of the produced polypeptide? Question 3: Researchers discover that a mutation is in the anticodon of the gene encoding the proline tRNA of an individual. The anticodon sequence is normally 3' GGA 5', but in this individual the anticodon sequence is 3' GGG 5'. It appears that this individual suffers no adverse consequences. How can this be?

During translation, when a stop codon is read on the mRNA strand at the ribosome... a the mRNA is digested by a protease complex b a repressor attached to the ribosome that inhibits the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA c the enzyme helicase binds to terminate the polypeptide d a release factor enters the A site of the ribosome and stimulates the disassembly of the translation complex Codons are... a triplets coding for a single amino acid. b redundant in their coding for various amino acids. c matched with anticodons during translation d triplets found on transfer RNA Question 6 (1 point) In order to produce many copies of the same protein in a short period of time, the cell uses... a intron self-splicing. b many RNA polymerase molecules to produce multiple mRNA transcripts at the same time. c single-unit ribosomes for high speed translation. d codon-anticodon reciprocal…
What happens when a stop codon is reached by a ribosome? A termination tRNAter binds to the codon and the growing peptide is transferred to it. When the peptidyl-tRNAter reaches the P site, the ribosome dissociates. A separate peptidyl transferase then releases the protein from tRNAter. A termination tRNAter binds to the codon and the growing peptide is transferred to it. When the peptidyl-tRNAter reaches the P site, the ribosome is signaled to release the protein. The ribosome then is likely to dissociate. A release factor binds to the codon and is used to release the growing peptide from the P site tRNA. A termination tRNAter binds to the codon and is used to release the growing peptide from the P site tRNA. The ribosome then is likely to dissociate.
a. If a single transition occurs in a codon that specifies Phe, what amino acids can be specified by the mutated sequence? b. If a single transversion occurs in a codon that specifies Phe, what amino acids can be specified by the mutated sequence? c. If a single transition occurs in a codon that specifies Leu, what amino acids can be specified by the mutated sequence? d. If a single transversion occurs in a codon that specifies Leu, what amino acids can be specified by the mutated sequence?
Why is the position of the first AUG after the ribosome-binding site critical?
Discuss why you think the ribosomes need to contain so many proteins and rRNA molecules. Does it seem like a waste of cellular energy to make such a large structure so that translation can occur?
The covalent attachment of an amino acid to a tRNA is an endergonic reaction. In other words, it requires an input of energy for the reaction to proceed. Where does the energy come from to attach amino acids to tRNA molecules?
What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis? * A. they carry proteins to the site of action B. they provide a source of amino acids C. they provide a site from tRNAs to link to mRNAs D. they translate the basic DNA code using tRNA Consider the following DNA bases sequence 3' TAT CGG 5'. what dipeptide is formed if a DNA point mutation converts CGG to CGT? * A.
