The following mRNA fragment is responsible for coding exactly three amino acids, the 33rd, 34th, and 35th ones of a polypeptide that is made of 60 amino acids. The base sequence in this fragment is: ...AUGACUGAAUAA… Use the genetic code to name the amino acids in the order of addition to the growing polypeptide chain.

\Match the following descriptions with the corresponding amino acids: This amino acid is responsible for the strength of rhino horns and wood lignin due to the strong hydrophobic interactions between them. Subtle decreases in the serum pH lead to the protonation of this amino acid, which promotes O2 release from hemoglobin. This amino acid is the nucleophile chymotrypsin uses to attack peptide bonds. This amino acid disrupts α-helices because it makes the nearby protein backbone too flexible (and prevents proper...

Ribosomes provide the scaffolding on which tRNAs interact with mRNA during translation of an mRNA sequence to a chain of amino acids.

Part A -tRNA interactions with mRNA and the ribosome Ribosomes provide the scaffolding on which tRNAs interact with mRNA during translation of an mRNA sequence to a chain of amino acids. A ribosome has three binding sites, each of which has a distinct function in the tRNA-mRNA interactions. Drag the appropriate tRNAs to the binding sites on the ribosome to show the configuration immediately before new peptide bond forms. Note that one of the binding sites should be left empty.
