Question

398 was also not the answer to the number of GTP molecules.

**Question:** What is the smallest number of molecules of ATP and GTP consumed in the synthesis of a protein with 200 residues after mRNA synthesis, starting from amino acids? Assume that the hydrolysis of PP<sub>i</sub> is equivalent to the hydrolysis of ATP for this calculation. **Input Fields:** - **Number of ATP molecules:** Input: 400 - **Number of GTP molecules:** Input: 199 Feedback: Incorrect This question relates to the energy cost of protein synthesis, specifically the use of ATP and GTP molecules. The values inputted for ATP and GTP molecules are incorrect for the given conditions of synthesizing a protein of 200 amino acids. The problem assumes equivalency between ATP hydrolysis and PP<sub>i</sub> hydrolysis for the calculation.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The process of gene expression requires two steps: transcription and translation.

Translation is the process in which the ribosomes (with the help of translation factors and aminoacyl tRNAs) synthesizes a polypeptide chain based on the sequence of codons on the mRNA.
