BIOL 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Aminoacyl Trna Synthetase, Transfer Rna, Transferase
Document Summary
To really understand life as a whole we have to include the aspect that dna makes dna. The central dogma in fact is physiology and developmental biology, which talks about the organismal form and function. If you understand this you have the basic idea of how life on earth works. The secret is that proteins are linear polymers of peptides. All the properties of the protein is determined directly or indirectly by its unique aa sequence. This aa sequence is coded in the gene"s nucleotide sequence. In the nucleus a rna polymerase binds to a double helix dna. The pre mrna is processed to become a mrna mrna is transported to the cytoplasm mrna is translated into proteins. Pre-mrna splicing mrna nuclear export mrna stability mrna translation. One of the key elements in the whole picture of translation is the genetic code. Nucleotide sequence of the genes in the dna specify the aa sequence.
