Chapter 29, Problem 1P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA template and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of proton encoded by it need to be determined

Concept introduction:

Nucleic acids and deoxyribonucleic acid particularly, are key macro molecules for the life processes. Deoxyribonucleic acid bears the hereditary data that is transferred to children from their parents, providing directions for the way (and when) to form numerous proteins required to make and maintain the cell functioning in the organisms.

Answer to Problem 1P

  $\text{Met-Ala-lle-Ser-Thr-Lys-Thr-Pro-Arg-Glu-Ser…}$

Explanation of Solution

The 3’ end of messenger ribonucleic acid can complement the 5’ end of the deoxyribonucleic acid transcribed from it. The deoxyribonucleic acid sequence can be represented from 5’ to 3’ as follows.

  $\text{5’-…GGATTCCCTAGGAGTCTTCGTCGTCGATCGCCATACGGATCT…-3}$ ’

The amino group end of the aminoalkanoic acid sequence can start from the primary AUG sequence ranging from the 5’ end.

  $\text{5’-…AUG GCG AUC UCG ACU AAG ACU CCU AGG GAA UCC…-3’}$

This ends up in the subsequent organic compound sequence as follows:

  $\text{Met-Ala-lle-Ser-Thr-Lys-Thr-Pro-Arg-Glu-Ser…}$

Conclusion

The 3’ end of ribonucleic acid can complement the 5’ end of the deoxyribonucleic acid transcribed from it. The N-terminal aminoalkanoic acid sequence can begin from the primary AUG sequence ranging from the 5’ end.
