Document Summary

Chapter 7: from dna to protein: how cells read the genome. Production of different mrnas (and proteins) from the same gene by splicing its rna transcripts in different ways. Aminoacyl-trna synthetase during protein synthesis, an enzyme that attaches the correct amino acid to a. Rna splicing trna molecule to form a :charged aminoacyl-trna. Set of 3 consecutive nucleotides in a transfer rna molecule that recognizes, through base-pairing, the 3-nucleotide codon on a messenger rna molecules; this interaction helps to deliver the correct amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain. Group of 3 consecutive nucleotides that specifies a particular amino acid or that starts or stops protein synthesis; applies to the nucleotides in an mrna or in a coding sequence of dna. Segment of a eukaryotic gene that is transcribed into rna and dictates the amino acid sequence of part of a protein.
