High levels of methionine is found in sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, fish, meats and some other plant seeds; methionine is also found in cereal grains. Most fruits and vegetables contain very little of it. Most legumes also has low quantity of methionine.

What organs are used to synthesize methionine?

The liver is the main organ responsible for synthesizing methionine. It uses the amino acid homocysteine and various cofactors, such as vitamin B6, B12, and folate, to convert homocysteine into methionine. Methionine can also be obtained from the diet through consumption of protein-rich foods.


What is the codon for methionine is AUG what is its anticodon?

The anticodon for methionine is UAC. It pairs with the methionine codon AUG during protein synthesis.


What is anticodon for methinonine?

The anticodon for methionine is 5'-CAU-3'. When the methionine tRNA binds to a methionine codon (AUG) on a mRNA strand, the anticodon pairs with the codon through complementary base pairing, allowing for the insertion of methionine during protein synthesis.


What does cyanogen bromide cleave?

Cyanogen bromide cleaves at methionine residues in proteins, specifically at the carboxyl side of methionine. It reacts with the sulfur atom of methionine, resulting in the cleavage of the peptide bond and the formation of homoserine lactone and a truncated peptide.


Is methionine the same compound as methianine?

No, methionine and methianine are not the same compound. It is possible that "methianine" is a misspelling or a different term for methionine. Methionine is an essential amino acid that is found in proteins, while "methianine" does not have a recognized meaning or chemical structure.


What is the code for methionine?

The genetic code for methionine is AUG. Methionine is commonly used as the start codon in protein synthesis.


What portion of tsp is 62.5 mg of L methionine?

How many different mrna correspond to methionine?

Only one mRNA codon codes for Methionine - AUG.


What is the start codon and what amino acid does it code for?

AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine


What amino acid has AUG?

METHIONINE


Why do all polypeptide chains start with methionine?

Because the nucleotide that codes for methionine also is the "start" signal, so whenever a polypeptide starts it uses the exact same code (AUG) so methionine must start every polypeptide chain.


Do all proteins start with methionine?

Proteins have undergone post-transcriptional modifications, thus may not start with methionine after it has been modified.
