tRNAs (transfer RNAs) are attached to specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon region that pairs with a corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is responsible for catalyzing the attachment of the appropriate amino acid to its corresponding tRNA.
Molecules attached to the myosin head from the previous movement cycle are inorganic phosphate and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). These molecules are released when the myosin head binds to actin, leading to the power stroke of muscle contraction.
CuSO4 · 5H2O has 5 water molecules attached to each CuSO4 molecule.
From nucleic acids to amino acids
When two different molecules are attached to each other, they are called a molecular complex or a compound. This interaction can be through various chemical bonds such as covalent bonds, ionic bonds, or hydrogen bonds, depending on the nature of the molecules involved.
The base sequence at the 3' end of all tRNAs is CCA. This sequence is added post-transcriptionally during tRNA processing and is important for tRNA charging with the corresponding amino acid.
During translation, an amino acid specific to the t-RNA molecule is attached to it.
ATP plays a crucial role in the process of charging tRNAs with amino acids by providing the energy needed for this process to occur. ATP is used to activate the amino acids before they are attached to the tRNA molecules, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the tRNA. This helps in the accurate and efficient translation of genetic information into proteins.
tRNAs are functioning as adapter molecules during proteins synthesis by carrying specific aminoacids
tRNA (transfer RNA) serves as an intermediary between mRNA (messenger RNA) and amino acids. During protein synthesis, tRNAs align with the mRNA so that the codons of the two match, then the amino acids attached to the opposite ends of the tRNAs are linked to start or continue the construction of a protein (proteins are comprised of amino acids).
A compound with water attached is known as a hydrate. In a hydrate, water molecules are typically attached to the compound through weak bonds, often forming a crystal lattice structure. Hydrates can vary in the number of water molecules attached to the compound.
fatty acids
Fatty acids are typically attached to glycerol molecules to form triglycerides or to other molecules to form phospholipids. In both cases, the fatty acids are attached through ester bonds.
FATTY ACIDS APEX
The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
Proteins with saccharides (sugar molecules) attached to them are known as glycoproteins.
