12 Terms

1
Unambigous
Each codon only specifies one amino acid
New cards
2
Degenerate
Each amino acid can have more than one codon
New cards
3
Comma-less/Comma-free
Adjacent codons do not overlap
New cards
4
Redundant
Amino acids are specified by more than one mRNA codon (because of Wobble effect)
New cards
5
New cards
6
Transfer RNA 5’end
Phosphate group
New cards
7
tRNA 3’ end
Hydroxyl
New cards
8
T arm
Responsible for attaching the tRNA to your ribosome
New cards
9
D arm
Allows amino acyl tRNA synthetase to recognize tRNA molecule (for recognition)
New cards
10
S-Adenosyl methionine
  • Universal methyl donor w/ an essential role in yje survival of organisms

  • Important because SAM enzyme catalyzes

  • Essential in CHARGING OF tRNA

New cards
11
Amino-acyl tRNA synthetase (ARS)
  • Primary function is to catalyze amino acetylation of tRNA

  • Essential because tRNA needs to be charged to allow tRNA to connect to anticodons to your codon sequence

New cards
12
Charging
Amino acid and ATP bind to the active site of amino acyl AMP and other intermediates
New cards
