Lecture 7: Translation & Protein Processing Flashcards
what type of RNA is translated?
mRNA
what do sRNA base pair with?
mRNA
what is sRNA used for?
silence genes & activate/repress translation
what is the intergenic region?
area between genes that has a low degree of complementary
what does sRNA do when there is a change in secondary structure?
inhibit or stimulate translation
what does sRNA do when there is a change in mRNA stability?
degrades & protects RNA
what is translation?
production of a protein
tertiary structure
folded proteins
Quaternary structure
two or more polypeptides
what type of RNA is an anticodon?
tRNA
what is the wobble position?
3rd position of codon that can change the 3rd letter
what is codon bias?
not all bacteria use the same set of codons
what is the A-site
acceptor where tRNA arrives & binds to it
what is the P-site
where the peptide grows
what is the E-site
where tRNA is ejected
