Translation
The removal of introns before translation in eukaryotes.
What is mRNA splicing?
This region in tRNA corresponds to one of the 64 possible codons.
What is an anti-codon.
The nonsense/stop codons.
What is UAA, UAG, UGA(go dawgs)?
Cellular structures that re-associate during translation to help synthesize proteins.
What are ribosomes?
This is the name of the process of amino acids being added to their corresponding tRNA.
What is charging?
This site on the larger subunit of ribosomes releases dissociated tRNAs so they can be recharged with free amino acids.
What is the exit(E) site?
The mRNA/poly-ribosome structure is called this.
What is a polysome?
This site on the larger ribosomal subunit binds incoming charged tRNA molecules.
What is the aminoacyl(A) site?
Stop codons are recognized at the A-site by release factors. These factors instruct the peptide transferase to add this molecule to the last amino acid.
What is H20?(forcing the amino acid to dissociate, releasing the protein)
The small subunit of ribosomes are responsible for this.
What is binding the mRNA template.
If the template DNA is GAT, then the amino acid, then this would be the sequence of the amino acid.
What is CUA?
This site on the larger subunit of ribosomes binds the charged tRNA carrying amino acids that have formed polypeptide bonds with the growing chain.
What is the peptidyl(P) site?
The large subunit of ribosomes is responsible for this.
What is binding tRNA?
This special RNA interacts with the start codon to begin translation.
What is initiator RNA?
This enzyme catalyzes the formation of each peptide bond during translation.
What is peptide transferase?
