Transfer RNA Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a crucial component in Protein Synthesis. It serves as an adaptor molecule between the codon, the three nucleic acids and the amino acid after which a specific protein will be synthesized. It is the intermediate in Protein Synthesis which interprets the genetic code. Without tRNA, translation in prokaryotes or eukaryotes could not take place. Common Features of tRNA Molecule Each amino acid has at least one tRNA molecule. Therefore, these tRNA molecules have…

A Comparison of Protein Synthesis between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes The different fundamental organisation of genetic material and organelles between eukaryotes and prokaryotes leads to dissimilar processes of protein synthesis. The larger eukaryotes have a more intricate pathway associated with protein synthesis, due to both the biochemical structure of organelles and enzymes, and also the transport of genetic material within cell. In this essay I hope to explore the differences of gene…

Protein structure prediction is that the prediction of the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its organic compound sequence — that's, the prediction of its folding and its secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure from its primary structure. Structure prediction is essentially totally different from the inverse downside of protein style. protein structure prediction is one among the foremost necessary goals pursued by bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry; it's extremely…

In sequence 2 the protein that was discovered was Presenilin or PSEN. Presenilin helps to process proteins that transmit chemical signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus ( PSEN1 gene ). These genes are used for cell growth and maturation.The protein makes sure that the cells are growing properly and that they are maturing properly as well. Presenilin is also known for its role in processing amyloid precursor protein which is located in the brain and the brain tissue (PSEN1 gene ). Amyloid…

the protein that the DNA sequence coded for was Presenilin 2, also known as PSEN2. These proteins are developed from directions from the Presenilin Gene. One of the jobs of PSEN2 Gene is to process proteins that transmit chemical proteins from the cell membrane into the nucleus. From there they can activate genes, critical to cell growth and maturation (What is the normal function of the PSEN2 gene ). Processing amyloid precursor protein is also one of the main functions of PSEN2. This protein…

Q1) Each subunit in the protein consists of two domains – a large domain for the binding of ATP and a smaller domain for the binding of fructose-6-phosphate. Q2) The αβα sandwich are tightly packed together and are separated by a large interface from another subunit. Each domain contains several beta sheets in between anywhere between two to four alpha helices. Q3) Most of the β sheets are parallel, although there are a few antiparallel beta stands in the large domains. The α helices are…

Introduction: A human has thousands and thousands of different proteins, each with a specific structure and function. Along with their diverse functions, they vary in structure, each protein having its own unique three-dimensional shape. Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different amino acids to make up all the different proteins on the earth. Each of the amino acids is composed of a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino…

Denaturing Protein Gels Kaytlin Goodwin Cedarville University Introduction Electrophoresis experiments are conducted on proteins for the purpose of separating proteins based on their characteristics. The characteristics that can be examined during the experiment are dependent on the preparation of both the proteins and the gel medium through which they will run. Native gel electrophoresis experiments highlight and examine multiple protein characteristics, such as size, charge, and…

FOXO proteins are the O class of the Forkhead family of proteins. Forkhead protein (FOX) was first discovered in Drosophila and when mutated results in a head structure that resembles a fork (Wiegel et al 1989). Over 100 FOX proteins have been identified since and classified as FOXA to FOXR depending on sequence similarities. The FOX family of proteins function as transcription factors and their defining feature is a DNA binding domain known as the fork head domain (Lai et al 1993). This domain…
