Terms from Translation unit of 04-350 at NW

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
amino acid   show
🗑
show NH3+, functional group that is part of an amino acid. You could consider this the head of the monomer.  
🗑
carboxyl group   show
🗑
variable group   show
🗑
show another term for the variable group that distinguishes one amino acid from another  
🗑
show the central carbon atom of an amino acid, with an amino group at one end, carboxyl group at the other and variable group  
🗑
peptide bond   show
🗑
show a nucleoside that may be found in RNA after chemical modification has occurred. found in the T loop of tRNA  
🗑
show a nucleoside that may be found in RNA after chemical modification has occurred. Found in the D loop of tRNA  
🗑
inosine   show
🗑
tRNA secondary structure   show
🗑
tRNA tertiary structure   show
🗑
anticodon   show
🗑
show loop of a tRNA closes to the 5' end of the molecule. Contains dihydroxyuridine  
🗑
T loop   show
🗑
variable loop   show
🗑
acceptor stem   show
🗑
show process by which amino acids are attached to the acceptor stem of a tRNA. Requires the consumption of energy.  
🗑
show Enzyme responsible for charging the tRNA... one for each amino acid. Recognizes the tRNA with the proper shape and uses them as a substrate for the charging reaction.  
🗑
show sequence of three nucleotides found within the mRNA that specifies which amino acid will be incorporated into the polypeptide during translation  
🗑
show the fact that the code contains three bases to make up one codon  
🗑
show one codon sequence always codes for the same amino acid  
🗑
show a single base in a codon is part of only one codon... not multiple  
🗑
non punctuated   show
🗑
redundant   show
🗑
universal   show
🗑
start codon   show
🗑
show a sequence in the mRNA that indicates where translation will stop. not recognized by any tRNA but recognized by release factors instead. also known as nonsense codons  
🗑
show open reading frame, a string of consecutive codons that begin with a start codon and concludes with a stop  
🗑
sense codon   show
🗑
non Watson Crick base pairng   show
🗑
show improper pairing between bases at the third position of the codon and the first position of the anticodon  
🗑
Svedberg unit   show
🗑
ribosome   show
🗑
small ribosomal subunit   show
🗑
large ribosomal subunit   show
🗑
show amino acyl site, binding site on the ribosome where new tRNA deliver amino acids during translation  
🗑
P site   show
🗑
E site   show
🗑
factor binding center   show
🗑
show ribozyme that is part of the large ribosomal subunit, responsible for making the peptide bonds between amino acids during translation  
🗑
5' UTR   show
🗑
3' UTR   show
🗑
monocistronic   show
🗑
show a mRNA that contains multiple ORF so a single RNA is responsible for multiple proteins  
🗑
ribosomal binding site   show
🗑
initiator tRNA   show
🗑
show chemically modified methionine used during initiation of prokaryotic translation carried by the initiator tRNA  
🗑
Methionine   show
🗑
IF1   show
🗑
IF2   show
🗑
IF3   show
🗑
show guanosine triphosphate, RNA monomer, also a high energy molecule used to drive various steps of translation  
🗑
show 5' end of mature mRNA, binding site of eukaryotic initiation factors of translation, where the ribosome will assemble  
🗑
show consensus sequence found in eukaryotic 5' UTR adjacent to the start codon, used to indicate which start codon should be used for initiation  
🗑
cap binding proteins   show
🗑
EF-Tu   show
🗑
show elongation factor G, protein that burns GTP while associated with the small ribosomal subunit that causes the ribosome to move one codon during the translocation step of translation  
🗑
show proteins involved in termination of translation, either bind to the stop codon or disassemble the stalled ribosome  
🗑
show interaction between cap binding proteins and poly A binding proteins causes eukaryotic mRNA to loop over on itself, increases rate of ribosomal recycling  
🗑
post translational modification   show
🗑
