In this article we will discuss about the synthesis and degradation of amino acids. When a protein is hydrolyzed as many as 20 amino acids of different kinds are produced. These are protein amino acids. In addition non-protein amino acids are also present but they do not form structural components of proteins. The details of chemical name, molecular weight and [...]
In this article we will discuss about the translation of amino acid to tRNA in cytoplasm. (i) Activation of Amino acids: Amino acids must be necessarily activated before their involvement in peptide synthesis (Fig. 4-10). The process is accomplished by the binding of an amino acid to ATP enzymatically and its consequent transference to tRNA. (ii) Transfer of amino acid [...]
