Question Description

From the codon dictionary and mRNA molecule below:

  1.  Draw (diagram) appropriate charged tRNAs for each codon in the message showing anticodons.

  2.  Write out (in words or diagramatically) the complete, specific equation for how an amino acid is      attached to a tRNA molecule.  Choose one that is appropriate to the message below.

  3.  Diagram the synthesis of the protein coded for by this mRNA molecule showing important events of    protein synthesis that occur on the 70S ribosome (e.g. peptide bond formation, translocation).     

  You need to convey that you understand the process.

  4.  What is the sequence of the protein coded for by this mRNA?

  5.  Define specifically what additional structural configurations a protein molecule can assume.

  6.  How can antibiotics affect the protein synthesis process?

  7.  What is meant by universality and degeneracy (redundancy) of the genetic code?
