Identify the following by describing their functions: EF-G, EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-P, and peptidyl transferase
When polynucleotides are synthesized with repeating triplets of
nucleotide residues, from one to three kinds of polypeptide chains
will be produced in cell-free synthesis.
(a) Explain why these different results are possible.
(b) Predict polypeptides produced when the following are used
with an E. coli system: (GUA), (UUA),
1. A) Explain this statement, “Most enzymes are gene-encoded proteins, but most enzymes are not only
protein". B) You recently isolated a new enzyme in your lab, and you named it "lipidase 1120". As a
temporary name, this is fine. Who is responsible for assigning a formal name, and on what criteria will that
name be assigned?
