🗑
What end of the tRNA does the amino acid join to? 3' or 5'   3'  
🗑
What kind of linkage joins the amino acid to the tRNA molecule?   ester  
🗑
What stop codon can sometimes specify seleno cysteine?   UGA  
🗑
What AA is sometimes called the 21st AA?   selenocysteine  
🗑
What special sequence requires a stem-loop forming sequence downstream of a UGA codon?   Selenocysteine Insertion Sequence  
🗑
What is the number of small subunits for higher level organisms?   40S  
🗑
What is the first codon used in most protein synthesis?   AUG  
🗑
What AA does AUG code for?   Met  
🗑
What is eIF2? Function?   eukaryotic initiation factor 2; binds tRNAiMet to small subunit  
🗑
What is the "Kozak" consesus?   PuPyPyAUGG; favorable start codon  
🗑
What does eIF4 do?   caps the 5' end  
🗑
What is the Shine-Dalgarno sequence?   upstream sequence to a start codon that can base pair to 3' end of 16S RNA  
🗑
What is the P-site?   peptide chain bound to the last tRNA  
🗑
WHat is the A-Site?   aminoacyl-tRNA  
🗑
What two things are required for binding an incoming charged tRNA?   hydrolysis of GTP and elongation factors  
🗑
What is peptide bond formation catalyzed by?   28S rRNA  
🗑
What two things are required for the A-site to move to the P-site?   GTP hydrolysis and EF2  
🗑
How does the peptide chain terminate in the P-site?   stop codons, special release factors bind  
🗑
From what end to what end is the mRNA read?   5' to 3'  
🗑
From what end to what end is the protein synthesized?   from amino to carboxyl end

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
