This process is repeated until all the codons in the mRNA have been read by tRNA molecules, and the amino acids attached to the tRNAs have been linked together in the growing polypeptide chain in ...

The purpose of protein synthesis is simply to create a polypeptide -- a protein made out of a chain of amino acids. In a hair follicle cell, a protein called keratin is made. Lots of it.

This process is repeated along the entire length of the mRNA, thereby elongating the polypeptide chain that is emerging from the top of the ribosome (Figure 8). Eventually, after elongation has ...

Queen Mary scientists have invented a new way to fix cartilage defects – a form of joint damage often caused by sports injuries or trauma – and to stop progression to osteoarthritis.

Here's how anticodons facilitate the translation process: The specificity of the anticodon-codon interaction ensures that the correct amino acid is incorporated into the polypeptide chain, maintaining ...

each with a specific side chain that gives it unique chemical properties. Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains. The sequence of amino acids in a protein, known ...

Results revealed that LH1-LH2 and LH1-RC complexes are formed, the smallest unit of the LH1 structure is composed of an unusual polypeptide chain, and this LH1 structure surrounds LH2 or RC.

During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional ... by using the intensity of GFP-tagged antibodies on the polypeptide to ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.

Results revealed that LH1-LH2 and LH1-RC complexes are formed, the smallest unit of the LH1 structure is composed of an unusual polypeptide chain, and this LH1 structure surrounds LH2 or RC.
