Term
Definition
amino acid   show
🗑
amino group   show
🗑
carboxyl group   show
🗑
variable group   show
🗑
radical group   show
🗑
show the central carbon atom of an amino acid, with an amino group at one end, carboxyl group at the other and variable group  
🗑
peptide bond   show
🗑
thymidine   show
🗑
dihydroxyuridine   show
🗑
inosine   show
🗑
tRNA secondary structure   show
🗑
show overall 3D shape of a tRNA when stem loops are twisted and contorted. greatly influenced by rare chemically modified bases. determines which amino acyl synthetase will charge that tRNA  
🗑
anticodon   show
🗑
show loop of a tRNA closes to the 5' end of the molecule. Contains dihydroxyuridine  
🗑
T loop   show
🗑
variable loop   show
🗑
show CCA sequence added to the 3' end of the tRNA after it has been transcribed. Serves as the connection point for the amino acid when charging occurs  
🗑
charging   show
🗑
show Enzyme responsible for charging the tRNA... one for each amino acid. Recognizes the tRNA with the proper shape and uses them as a substrate for the charging reaction.  
🗑
show sequence of three nucleotides found within the mRNA that specifies which amino acid will be incorporated into the polypeptide during translation  
🗑
triplet   show
🗑
show one codon sequence always codes for the same amino acid  
🗑
show a single base in a codon is part of only one codon... not multiple  
🗑
show the genetic code is not broken up using markers to distinguish one codon from the other  
🗑
show the genetic code has multiple codons that code for the same amino acid. also known as a degenerate code  
🗑
show the genetic code is interpreted in the same way in nearly all organisms  
🗑
start codon   show
🗑
stop codon   show
🗑
show open reading frame, a string of consecutive codons that begin with a start codon and concludes with a stop  
🗑
sense codon   show
🗑
non Watson Crick base pairng   show
🗑
show improper pairing between bases at the third position of the codon and the first position of the anticodon  
🗑
show S, unit of measure that includes not only mass but factors related to density. How likely will a molecule sink through a density gradient  
🗑
show machinery for protein synthesis, composed of two subunits (one large and one small)  
🗑
show complex of rRNA and protein that serves as one half of a functional ribosome  
🗑
show complex of rRNA and protein that serves as one half of a functional ribosome  
🗑
show amino acyl site, binding site on the ribosome where new tRNA deliver amino acids during translation  
🗑
P site   show
🗑
show exit site, exit channel where uncharged tRNA will leave the ribosome after being used in translation  
🗑
factor binding center   show
🗑
show ribozyme that is part of the large ribosomal subunit, responsible for making the peptide bonds between amino acids during translation  
🗑
show 5' untranslated region, portion of the mRNA at the 5' end that does not contain codons, upstream of the start codon  
🗑
3' UTR   show
🗑
show a mRNA that contains a single ORF  
🗑
show a mRNA that contains multiple ORF so a single RNA is responsible for multiple proteins  
🗑
ribosomal binding site   show
🗑
initiator tRNA   show
🗑
fMet   show
🗑
Methionine   show
🗑
show initiation factor 1, in prokaryotes used to keep the A site free until the ribosome assembles  
🗑
show initiation factor 2, protein in prokaryotes that holds the initiator tRNA in place until the ribosome assembles  
🗑
show initiation factor 3, protein in prokaryotes that keeps lrge and small ribosomal subunits apart until they recognize a mRNA  
🗑
show guanosine triphosphate, RNA monomer, also a high energy molecule used to drive various steps of translation  
🗑
methyl guanosine cap   show
🗑
Kozak sequence   show
🗑
cap binding proteins   show
🗑
show Elongation factor Tu, protein that guides new charged tRNA into the A site of the ribosome, carrying GTP, make contact with the factor binding center if all proper pairing of codon and anticodon occurs to stimulate peptidyl transferase  
🗑
EF-G   show
🗑
release factor   show
🗑
mRNA looping   show
🗑
post translational modification   show
🗑
