∙ 16y agoTransfer RNA (tRNA) can only bond to one specific type of amino acid through its anticodon region. This interaction ensures that the correct amino acid is delivered to the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

The attachment of a carboxylic acid group of one amino acid to the amino acid group of another forms a connection called a peptide bond.
No, phosphoric acid is not an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), while phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid containing phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms.
The amino acid proline is the only amino acid that has a secondary amine functional group. This is because proline is a cyclic amino acid that links the 3-carbon R-group back to the amine group, resulting in a secondary amine.
No, ionic bonds are not responsible for the primary structure of a protein. The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Ionic bonds may play a role in stabilizing the secondary or tertiary structures of proteins.
No, amino acids can be represented by multiple codons. This is due to the redundancy in the genetic code, where different codons can code for the same amino acid.
The attachment of a carboxylic acid group of one amino acid to the amino acid group of another forms a connection called a peptide bond.
A single transfer RNA molecule typically carries one specific amino acid attached to it. This amino acid is linked to the tRNA through an ester bond between the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 3' end of the tRNA.
Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by covalent bonds called peptide bonds. These bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in a linear chain of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.
The average molecular weight of an amino acid is around 110 daltons. However, the molecular weight can vary depending on the specific amino acid due to differences in their side chains.
For any one codon, there can be only one amino acid that it codes for. Each codon in the genetic code corresponds to a specific amino acid, ensuring that the correct sequence of amino acids is produced during protein synthesis.
No, in the genetic code, each three-nucleotide sequence (codon) corresponds to a specific amino acid, and it is specific and unambiguous. GGG will always encode for proline and cannot code for any other amino acid.
Amino acids link together by peptide bonds in the ribosomes during protein synthesis. The amino group of one amino acid reacts with the carboxyl group of another amino acid, forming a peptide bond. This process continues until a chain of amino acids is formed, creating a protein.
A specific amino acid is attached to the tRNA molecule, forming an aminoacyl-tRNA. This attachment occurs at the 3’ end of the tRNA molecule through an ester bond and is catalyzed by the enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. The amino acid linked to the tRNA is determined by the tRNA's anticodon sequence and is essential for protein synthesis during translation.
If only one amino acid is coded incorrectly in a protein sequence, it may result in a missense mutation. This could potentially lead to a change in the structure and function of the protein. The impact of the mutation would depend on the specific amino acid involved and its location within the protein.
No, phosphoric acid is not an amino acid. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), while phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid containing phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms.
There is only one corresponding amino acid for each codon. Each codon codes specifically for one amino acid (however, an amino acid can be coded for by several different codons). For example: CAU codes for Histamine (and not any other amino acid) But, CAC also codes for Histamine.
The only substance that directly binds to an amino acid during protein synthesis is a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule. The tRNA carries the specific amino acid to the ribosome where it binds to the complementary codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) strand. This interaction is crucial for the correct incorporation of amino acids into the growing polypeptide chain.
