35 views5 pages

Document Summary

Peptide directionality - reading peptides from n-terminus -> c- terminus. Proteins = polymers made of amino acid chains. Bond between amino group of one amino acid -> carboxyl group of another. Anticodon - set of 3 bases on bottom of trna. Codon - set of 3 bases on mrna strand - form a unit of genetic code in rna. Specifies which amino acid will be next during protein synthesis. Each codon codes for only 1 amino acid. Methionine usually 1st amino acid on polypeptide chain. Start codon - first codon that small subunit (and then trna) recognize on mrna strand. Stop codon - codon that has no anticodon. Anticodon pairs with corresponding triplet codon on mrna strand. Only 45 types of anticodons to 61 mrna codons. 4. trna: 3" -> 5" (downstream) mrna: 5" -> 3" Small subunit of ribosome binds to mrna binding site on backbone mrna strand a. Small subunit finds start codon (aug) - codes for methionine.
