Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine

Protein structure where the sequence of amino acids are linear; Linked with peptide bonds and its polypeptide chains are unbranched

Primary structure

Protein structure where interactions between amino acid side chains fold a protein into predictable configurations; Linked with Hydrogen bond and has alpha-helix and beta sheet as its major structure

Secondary structure

Protein structure that has a 3D shape; Folding of polypeptide chain, driven by hydrophobic amino acids; Van der Waals forces can also contribute to its structure

Tertiary structure

A protein structure where protein or polypeptide has two or more polypeptide chains or subunits that can interact withor each other

Quaternary Structure

Ordered sequence of nucleotides on a chromosome that encodes a specific functional group; Fundamental unit of inheritance

Gene

The process by which a gene’s information is converted into the structures and functions of a cell process of producing a biologically functional molecule (Protein or RNA)

Gene Expression

Sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis

Codon

How many sense codons does a human have?

61

How many stop codon?

Three (3)


(UAA, UGA, UAG)

Start codon

Methionine (AUG)

Which codon are specific?

Methionine (AUG) and Tryptophan (UGG)

Characteristics of the genetic code

- Specificity


- Universality


- Degeneracy


- Non-overlapping and comma less

Characteristic: A particular codon always codes for the same amino acid

Specificity

Characteristic: Its specificity has been conserved from very early stages of evolution, with only slight differences in the manner in which the code is translated

Universality

Characteristic: Redundant; A given amino acid may have more then one triplet coding for it

Degeneracy

Characteristic: The code is read from a fixed starting point as a continuous sequence of bases, taken three at a time without any punctuation between codons

Non-overlapping and comma less

Process of copying one strand of DNA into RNA thru a process similar to that of DNA replication

Transcription

RNA polymerase binds to a region of a gene called promoter

Initiation

Addition of nucleotide to the mRNA strand

Elongation

mRNA strand is complete and detaches from DNA

Termination

A process in which genetic code in the mRNA is read to make a protein

Translation

Process of Translation

Mutations

Classifications of Mutations

Spontaneous mutation and Induced mutation

Mutation that occurs during normal cells processes

Spontaneous mutations

Mutation wherein the rate of mutation can be increased by chemical/radiation

Induced mutation

Mutation: codon with a changed base codes for the same amino acid

Silent mutation

Mutation: codon with the changed base codes for a different amino acid

Missense mutation

Mutation: codon with changed bass becomes a termination codon

Nonsense mutation

Mutation: A sequence of three bases that is repeated in tandem will become amplified in number so that too many copies of the triplet occur

Trinucleotide repeat expansion

Mutation: One base is incorrectly added during replication and replaces the pair in corresponding position on the complementary strand

Substitution

Mutation: Mutations at mut can alter the way introns are removed from pre-mRNA molecules producing aberrant proteins

Splice mutations

Mutation: One or two nucleotides are either deleted or added to the coding region of an mRNA, altering the reading frame

Frameshift mutations

Mutation: Insertion or deletion that takes place in a multiple of 3 nucleotides and does not lead to any shift in the reading frame
