yes very much so, it's the anti-codon that tells the tRNA which amino acid to go get

What happens at the end of translation?

How does the elution buffer work in the process of protein purification?

The elution buffer helps to release the purified protein from the column by changing its chemical environment, causing the protein to detach and flow out of the column for collection.


What is the sequence of events that happens during protein synthesis?

this is what my anatomy & physiology book states...1. an mRNA molecule binds to the small ribosomal subunit at the mRNA biding site. A special tRNA, called initiator tRNA, binds to the start codon (AUG) on mRNA, where translation begins. The tRNA anticodon (UAC) attaches to the mRNA codon (AUG) by pairing between the complementary bases. Besides being the start codon, AUG is also the codon for the amino acid methionine. Thus, methionine is always the first amino acid in a growing polypeptide2. Next, the large ribosomal subunit attaches to the small ribosomal subunit-mRNA complex, creating a functional ribosome. The initiator tRNA, with its amino acid (methionine), fits into the P site of the ribosome.3. The anticodon of another tRNA with its attached amino acid pairs with the second mRNA codon at the A site of the ribosome.4. A component of the large ribosomal subunit catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between methionine, which separates from its tRNA at the P site, and the amino acid carried by the tRNA at the A site.5. After peptide bond formation, the empty tRNA at the P site detaches from the ribosome, and the ribosome shifts the mRNA strand by one codon. The tRNA in the A site bearing the two-peptide protein shifts into the P site, allowing another tRNA with its amino acid to bind to a newly exposed codon at the A site. Steps 3 through 5 occur repeatedly, and the protein lengthens progressively.6. Protein synthesis ends when the ribosome reaches a stop codon at the A site, which causes the completed protein to detach from the final tRNA. When the tRNA vacates the A site, the ribosome splits into its large and small subunits.In your book (probably), the titles it gives are"1: Messenger RNA Production2: Messenger RNA Attaches to a Ribosome3: Transfer RNA Attaches to Messenger RNA4: Protein Production Continues


Explain the function of ribosomes?

rRNA is a massive molecule consisting of two parts; a small section, and a large section. It is between these two sections that the mRNA fits, and into the large selection that the tRNA complexes (with attached amino acids) are taken. rRNA molecules have two main binding sites. When a tRNA molecule is bound, the mRNA molecule moves along one space, and another tRNA molecule binds. When this happens, the amino acids at the ends of the tRNA molecules are very close together, and a peptide bond forms. The mRNA then moves along again and the first tRNA molecule breaks away. This is translationRead more: How_are_messenger_RNA_transfer_RNA_ribosomal_RNA_different


What type of organisms have enzymes and what is the purpose of enzymes in living things?

All living organisms (bacteria, archaebacteria, protists, plants, fungi and animals) have enzymes. That is, they synthesise enzymes/produce enzymes, which are essential physiological components. An enzyme is a protein that catalyses an essential physiological chemical reaction. The temperatures at which living organisms live are not high enough for essential chemical reactions to occur fast enough to sustain life. Thus an enzyme is required as the first step to speed a reaction on its way. That is what catalyse means: not just supervise, but facilitate. An enzyme is to be imagined as a 3-D folded protein, which has a slot called an active site into which a compound or macromolecule can temporarily fit. Within the active site, the forces between the constituent chemical groups of the enzyme and its active-site-fitted molecule (substrate) alter the shape of the active-site-fitting molecule in such a way as to facilitate a reaction of that molecule (which can either be the break down of that molecule or the addition of another molecule to that molecule). Once the reaction has been catalysed, enzyme and products of the reaction detach from one another. Almost all reactions are catalysed by enzymes. These reactions can build molecules up (anabolic reactions) or break them down (catabolic reactions). For example, the enzyme amylase breaks down starch into maltose. The enzyme maltase breaks down maltose (a sugar) into a simpler sugar called glucose. The enzyme phosphofructokinase adds a phosphate to a molecule called fructose 6-phosphate which produces fructose 1,6 - bisphosphate, a reaction of glycolysis which is the first stage of cellular respiration. In the Krebs Cycle, also part of cellular respiration, citrate synthetase combines a molecule called oxaloacetate with acetyl-Coenzyme A, which produces citrate. ATP synthase produces ATP, the essential energy-carrying molecule, from ADP. Indeed there are thousands of different enzymes for the thousands of different reactions in a cell! Enzymes are thoroughly essential to all life. All enzymes end in ASE!

Detach.


How does allolactose work?

Allolactose is a molecule that binds to the lac repressor protein in E. coli, causing it to detach from the lac operator region in the lac operon. This allows RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter and transcribe the genes necessary for lactose metabolism. Ultimately, this process enables the bacteria to use lactose as an energy source.


What is the opposite word for attach?

What makes a leaving group good in a chemical reaction?

A leaving group is considered good in a chemical reaction if it can easily detach from the molecule, allowing the reaction to proceed efficiently. This is typically achieved when the leaving group is stable and can form a stable product after leaving the molecule.
