Question
Chapter 12, Problem 16RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Proofreading process in amino acid activation is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Proofreading refers to a mechanism of correcting errors in the translation process. The specific recognition of t-RNA with aminoacyl-AMP complex is controlled by the enzyme t-RNA synthetase. This mechanism is important to avoid any genetic disorders.
