Summary Introduction

To list: The possible codons that are present in a ribonucleotide polymer containing U and G in random sequence.

Concept introduction: The sequence of three mRNA nucleotides code for the amino acids during the translation process. Three nucleotides constitute a codon that codes for the single amino acid. The codon where the translation process starts is the start codon, which is known as AUG; it usually codes for methionine. The stop codon terminates the translation process. The stop codons are UAA, UGA, and UAG.

(a) AH = (b) AH = -84 kJ mol¹ (−20 kcal mol¹), AS = -125 J mol-¹ K-¹ (-30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) (c) AH = +84 kJ mol¹ (+20 kcal mol¯¹), AS = +125 J mol¯¹ K−¹ (+30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) (d) AH = +84 kJ mol-1 (+20 kcal mol-¹), AS = -125 J mol¯¹ K-¹ (-30 cal mol-¹ K-¹) -84 kJ mol¹ (-20 kcal mol¹), AS = +125 J mol¯¹ K-¹ (+30 cal mol-¹ K-¹)
What chemical interactions are primarily responsible for the fact that oil and water do not mix easily? ionic interactions covalent bonds hydrogen bonding Ohydrophobic effect
The carbon-nitrogen peptide bond is rigid, but rotation can take place about the bond between the nitrogen and α-carbon atoms and the bond between the α-carbon and the carbonyl carbon atom. These bond angles define the conformation of the peptide chain. Consider the Ramachandran plot shown to answer both questions.
