• Enzymes involved in the process of protein synthesis.

  26180 Enzymes involved in the process of protein synthesis. 29,616 nucleotides are required to make a protein that has 9,872 amino acids. Name 5 enzymes involved in this process. RNA polymerase - binds to DNA and unwinds part of the double helix.

• Calculating numbers of RNA nucleotides from amino acids.

  211498 Specifically how to calculate the number of nucleotides needed in mRNA to from a given number of amino acids in a protein. This calculation also works to find the number of DNA nucleotides required to form a protein.

• Consensus Sequence in DNA

  In your attachment, you only provide the DNA sequence and mRNA sequence. We need the consensus sequence to see if and/or how many nucleotides your gene sequence differs from the consensus sequence.

• DNA and mRNA

  . ==================== Since a codon is composed of three nucleotides, and one amino acid is encoded per codon, a protein of 146 amino acid residues would require: (146 aa residues)(1 codon/aa residue)(3 nucleotides/codon) = 438 nucleotides

• Calculation of Fractional Saturation of Protein in GDP/GTP

  The fractional saturation of a protein in the presence of GDP and GTP is calculated given concentration and Ka values.

• Transcription, splicing and translation

  Amino acid properties such as hydrophobicity, charge and polarity play important role in protein function.

• Three nucleotide codon

  multiple bases and each amino acid.

• Human beta-globin polypeptide

  The cell reads each set of three letters (the codon) and brings the appropriate amino acid to the site of protein synthesis (usually the ribosome).

• molecular biology problem that enables you to convert daltons

  Since each amino acid is encoded by three base pairs of DNA (three nucleotides), the protein of 400 amino acids needs a gene of about 3 x 400=1200 base pairs.
