Translation

Translation. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA codes for the different amino acids found in proteins. There are three nucleotides per codon. There are 64 possible combinations of A, U, G, and C. The genetic code is redundant. Some proteins are coded for by more than one codon.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Translation • The nucleotide sequence of mRNA codes for the different amino acids found in proteins. • There are three nucleotides per codon. • There are 64 possible combinations of A, U, G, and C. • The genetic code is redundant. Some proteins are coded for by more than one codon.

  3. Transfer tRNA • There are 20 different tRNAs, one for each amino acid. • Each tRNA is single stranded with a CCA triplet at its 3' end. • A particular amino acid is attached to the tRNA by an ester linkage involving the carboxyl group of the amino acid and the 3' oxygen of the tRNA.
