What happens to the new amino acid chain when translation ends?
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
When translation end what happens to the new amino acids?
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
When is the new Amino acid added to the polypeptide chain?
The new amino acid is added to the polypeptide chain during the elongation phase of translation. This occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codon and brings in the corresponding tRNA with the attached amino acid. The amino acid is then added to the growing polypeptide chain through peptide bond formation.
What type of bond forms between the new amino acid and the previous amino acid on the chain?
A peptide bond forms between the new amino acid and the previous amino acid on the chain during protein synthesis. This bond is formed through a dehydration reaction, where the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of the other amino acid, releasing a molecule of water in the process.
Which site on the ribosome does the new tRNA bring an amino acid to?
The new tRNA brings an amino acid to the A site on the ribosome. This is where the transfer of the growing polypeptide chain from the tRNA in the P site to the newly arriving amino acid on the tRNA in the A site occurs.
What is it called When a cell forms an amino acid by adding an amine group derived from ammonia to a precursor metabolite?
This process is called transamination. It involves transferring an amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid to form a new amino acid and a new keto acid.
Where are essential amino acids converted to non essential amino acids?
Essential amino acids are converted to non-essential amino acids through the process of transamination in the liver. This process involves the transfer of an amino group from an essential amino acid to a keto acid, producing a non-essential amino acid and a new keto acid. The non-essential amino acids can then be used in the synthesis of proteins or other important molecules in the body.
What is the function of tRNA.?
tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.
Do new aminoacyl tRNAs enter the ribosome during elogation?
Yes, new aminoacyl tRNAs enter the ribosome during the elongation phase of protein synthesis to add additional amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain. The incoming aminoacyl tRNA matches its anticodon with the complementary codon on the mRNA, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing chain.
How a second amino acid would bond to cysteine in forming the primary strusture of a protein?
A condensation reaction between the acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another forms a covalent bond between two amino acids. A water molecule is also produced. A new bond formed is called a peptide bond.
What is transamination and where does it happen?
Transamination is a biochemical reaction where an amino group is transferred from an amino acid to a keto acid, forming a new amino acid and keto acid. This process usually occurs in the liver and other tissues.
The first amino acid inserted into a new polypeptide chain in eukaryotic cells is always?
The first codon is usually the start codon AUG. AUG is normally the only codon for the amino acid methionine. There are exceptions. The E.coli lactose operon contains four genes: lacI, lacZ, lacY and lacA. The amino acid sequence for all four of these genes begins with methionine. Only lacZ and lacY begin with AUG. LacI begins with GUG, which normally codes for valine. LacA begins with UUG, which normally codes for leucine. Still, the starting amino acid seems always to be methionine. Perhaps the ribosome is primed with methionine transfer RNA when it begins its translation of the messenger RNA. However, the site of translation initiation is not always at an AUG start codon. For the DNA and amino acid sequences of the E.coli lactose operon see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/146575?report=graph.
