Chapter 21, Problem 35P
The first amino acid incorporated into a polypeptide chain during its biosynthesis in prokaryotes is N-formylmethionine. Explain the purpose of the formyl group. (Hint: The ribosome has a binding site for the growing peptide chain and a binding site for the incoming amino acid.)

Quantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kT
