Aminoacid attachment site and anticodons are structural components of tRNA . Overall function of tRNA is transfer of aminoacids during protein synthesis .
Amino acid attachment site at 3' terminus carries aminoacids to the mRNA during protein synthesis. Aminoacid is attached to this site by forming covalent bonds that is aminoacyl bond . The enzyme which helps in attachment of aminoacids to the site is aminoacyl tRNA synthetase . This process is called aminoacylation .
Anticodons are complimentary codons for mRNA , which are present in tRNA . The charged tRNA get attached to the mRNA through this site ,so that elongation of polypeptide chains can occur . A tRNA contains one anticodon at the head region and one amino acid attachment site at the tail region . Both these sites are essential for translation process that is protein synthesis.
What is the function role of the amino acid attachment site at 3’ terminus and the...
Draw an. ionized version of an amino acid and label the major parts(N terminus, C-terminus, alpha-carbon, backbone) of the molecule. Specifically describe how an amino acid is affected by different pH’s (<7, 7, >7). Which form is most common and why/how is that important for cell function/survivability?
Site-directed mutagenesis replaces a specific amino acid in a protein with a different amino acid, and this approach is commonly used by biochemists to determine if an amino acid is essential for a protein’s function and probe that residue’s role in that function. Which of each pair of amino acid substitutions listed below would you expect to disrupt protein structure the most? Explain. a. Gln replaced by Glu or Asn b. Lys replaced with Asp or Arg c. Thr replaced...
What is the difference between glycoproteins and proteoglycans? Draw the chemical structure for an attachment site between glycan and amino acid in a proteoglycan.
When amino acid monomers are joined together, they are always arranged so that the 'C-terminus' of one amino acid is covalently bonded to the 'N-terminus' of the other. How would this 'polymerization' occur chemically? Draw your answer on a paper using the figure below and indicate what this chemical process is called: Upload the picture of the file.

1. Draw the dipeptide His-Gly at pH 7.4. 2. Label the amino terminus, the carboxy terminus, the two alpha carbons, and the peptide bond (1pt). 3. Calculate it’s net charge. 4. What is the net charge of this dipeptide at pH = 2? 5. List the levels of protein structure and the types of bonds/interactions that are characteristic of each level.
Biochemistry 1. A) Tetrahydrobiopterin serves an essential role in the biosynthesis of one amino acid and several neurotransmitters. What is its function in all those reactions? B) Pyridoxal P (or pyridoxamine P) is an essential cofactor for what reaction during formation of tryptamine, dopamine and serotonin? What reaction does it facilitate there? C) Tetrahydrofolate is a vitamin. Why is it required for methionine resynthesis? From what non-protein amino acid is methionine resynthesized? D) What amino acid provides the C skeleton...
The
following questions are based on the papin mechanism below:
Explain the role of each amino acid in the catalytic triad.
Site directed mutagenesis replacing the active site asp in the
papain protease with an ala showed that catalytic activity was not
significantly affected. Why would you think that asp is not so
critical in the cysteine proteases?
