Question
Chapter 4.8, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
In translation, amino acid sequence of a protein molecule is synthesized from mRNA. The messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomes are three major components involved in protein synthesis. The mRNA sequence encodes genetic information and that is translated into a protein. The tRNA transfers free amino acids to the ribosome, which are used for synthesis of new protein sequence. The ribosome synthesizes protein according to the mRNA sequence.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7.
A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids
using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid.
B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could
occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds
in the backbone of each amino acid.
C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups
could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label
the bond that you formed between the two R groups.

- Non polar Covalent boND- yellow
