|
|
Term
|
Definition
recognizes stop codon and cleaves polypeptide from tRNA |
|
|
Term
how to predict STOP CODON???*** |
|
Definition
- we start at the start codon AUG---
- there are several stop codons throughout chain of mRNA, the last ATG with nothing in front of it cannot be stop because there are no other sequences in fron of it
- first find first codon ATG circle all
- look for stop codon--> circle to identify
- go through frames after start codon AUG untill everything corresponds and you hit stop codon last
- remember every 3 lettesr = 1 amino acid
**chain must be greater than 9 amino acids

|
Term
what does S stand for? what function does it represent? |
|
Definition
S stands for the svedberg unit, which is a sedimentation coefficient. In general it is a measure of time for sedimentation. Bigger particles sediment faster and therefore they have higher S values. |

|
Term
what function does 16s in translation |
|
