Chapter 30, Problem 12P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The method of identifying whether a methionyl-tRNA initiates the synthesis of protein or delivers a Met residue to incorporate in the polypeptide chain by bacterial cells needs to be determined. The difference in the Met codon for the two purposes needs to be explained. The role of eukaryotic cells in handling such problems needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The polypeptide chains are formed from the amino acids joining together by peptide bonds. The proteins are known to be linear polymers formed due to the bond formation between alpha-carboxylic group of the single amino acid and alpha-amino group of the other via peptide bond.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
