Protein Synthesis and Folding
A secondary structure composed of a right handed helix that turns every 3.6 amino acids.
What is an alpha-helix?
This is the enzyme that provides RNA primers for DNA replication.
What is primase?
It binds to actin and is a part of the muscle fiber.
What is myosin?
It is a molecule that is bound by the binding site of a protein.
What is a ligand?
A fluorescent protein often used as a intracellular marker.
What is Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)?
It is a molecule that binds to a stop codon on the mRNA to terminate transcription
What is a release factor?
This is the part of the unprocessed RNA transcript that is removed during alternative splicing.
What is an exon?
It is the organizational center for microtubules within a cell.
What is the centromere?
It is a cellular method for carrying out unfavorable chemical reactions.
The ability to distinguish two close objects
What is resolving power?
A special tRNA that recognizes the start codon to begin translation.
What is Met-initiator tRNA
This is an enzyme that prevents chromosome shortening after DNA Replication
What is Telomerase?
It is a basic unit of muscle contraction.
What is a sarcomere?
It is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolyses of a polysaccharide.
What is lysozyme?
It helps compartmentalize function within a cell and provide additional surface area for cellular chemistry.
What is an internal membrane?
What is a chaperone protein?
This is a protein that helps with the packaging of DNA into chromatin.
What is a histone protein?
It is the form of tubulin that is most stably associated with the microtubule.
What is GTP-bound tubulin?
It is a GTP-regulated growth factor that can contribute to cancer when mutated.
The organelle responsible for modification of secretory proteins and a sorting station for vesicle transport.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
It binds to the 5' end of an mRNA and then dissociates when the first start codon is reached.
What is a translation initiation factor (TIF)?
What is amino acyl tRNA synthetase?
It is the part of kinesin that is bound to the microtubule during transportation.
What is the globular head domain?
It is a molecule that hydrolyzes GTP into GDP on a GTPase
What is GTPase Activating Protein (GAP)?
The idea that early eukaryotes formed from the merging of two prokaryotes.
