At one end of a tRNA molecule there exists a short tail. This tail?
binds an amino acid
What is the only substance that directly binds to an amino acid during protein synthesis?
A molecule called tRNA or transfer RNA.
What is the role of the tRNA anticodon?
the tRNA carries only the amino acid that the anti-codon specifies. for example: one tRNA molecule for the amino acid cysteine has an anticodon of ACA. this anticodon binds to thh mRNA codon UGU.
What are the differences between a charged tRNA and an uncharged tRNA?
Well, charged tRNA means it has an amino acid attached. And a charged tRNA can read the codon of mRNA during translation.the charged tRNA mean that the correct amino acid is attached. uncharged means no amino acid is attached. mischarged means the wrong amino acid is attached. if the wrong amino acid is attached then there may be low levels which can cause misfolded proteins.
Where exactly does an amino acid link to a tRNA molecule?
All tRNAs have an amino acid (or acceptor) stem - which is the 3' end and is composed of CCA. The amino acid stem is where the link between the tRNA and the amino acid occurs.
What contains the anticodon and binds to a particular amino acid?
tRNA contains the anticodon
What is the function of tRNA.?
tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.
Is tRNA attached to an amino acid?
Amino acids are attached to one end of the transfer RNA molecules and the other end of the tRNA moleule attaches to the a-site of the ribosome.
When a tRNA anticodon binds to an mRNA codon does the amino acid detach from the tRNA molecule and bond to the end of a growing protein chain?
yes very much so, it's the anti-codon that tells the tRNA which amino acid to go get
At one end of a tRNA molecule there exists a short tail. This tail?
binds an amino acid
Which of the following brings amino acids into a ribosome to be assembled into a protein?
transfer RNA (tRNA) attaches to amino acids and transports them to ribosomes, the site at which amino acids are assembled into proteins.I hope that helps!
Nucleic acid carries the amino acids to the ribosome?
Short answer to this is tRNA. Long answer: aminoacyl-tRNAsynthetase is an enzyme with two pockets, one for tRNA and one for a specific amino acid. This enzyme is responsible for joining tRNA and amino acids where they then travel to a ribosome and begin the process of translation
What is the only substance that directly binds to an amino acid during protein synthesis?
A molecule called tRNA or transfer RNA.
What is the role of the tRNA anticodon?
the tRNA carries only the amino acid that the anti-codon specifies. for example: one tRNA molecule for the amino acid cysteine has an anticodon of ACA. this anticodon binds to thh mRNA codon UGU.
Why does tRNA have a T shape?
The shape of tRNA is specifically designed to be able to accept the amino acid according to its anticodon. If tRNA was in any other shape, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, the enzyme that adds amino acid to tRNA, would not be able to transfer the amino acid to tRNA.
What are the two functional part of a charged tRNA?
An amino acid and an anticodon. (APEX)
What are the differences between a charged tRNA and an uncharged tRNA?
Well, charged tRNA means it has an amino acid attached. And a charged tRNA can read the codon of mRNA during translation.the charged tRNA mean that the correct amino acid is attached. uncharged means no amino acid is attached. mischarged means the wrong amino acid is attached. if the wrong amino acid is attached then there may be low levels which can cause misfolded proteins.
