In this article we will discuss about the introduction and mechanisms of translation in prokaryotes. Introduction to Translation in Prokaryotes: The process by which proteins are produced with amino acid sequences specified by the sequence of codons in messenger RNA is called translation. Translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis. The main points about translation in prokaryotes are given [...]
The below mentioned article provides short notes on anticodons. The base sequence of tRNA which pairs with codon of mRNA during translation is called anticodon. Codons are written in 5 to 3 direction, whereas anticodons are usually written in 3 to 5 direction. In a codon, the first letter is at the 5 end while in anticodon the first letter [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Genetic Code 2. Types of Genetic Code 3. Properties. Meaning of Genetic Code: The genetic code may be defined as the exact sequence of DNA nucleotides read as three letter words or codons, that determines the sequence of amino acids in protein synthesis. In other words, the genetic code is [...]
