The chemical mechanisms used to avoid errors in protein synthesis are different from those used during DNA replication. DNA poly

merases use a 3 ′ to 5 ′ exonuclease proofreading activity to remove mispaired nucleotides incorrectly inserted into a growing DNA strand. There is no analogous proofreading function on ribosomes. Instead, proofreading for protein synthesis is carried out by the aminoacyl‑tRNA synthetases. ldentify the mechanisms aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases use to ensure that the correct amino acid is attached to the appropriate tRNA.(A) To distinguish between two amino acids with similar structures, some aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases use a proofreading site that recognizes and hydrolyzes the incorrect amino acid.(B) The active site in each aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase has a high specificity for the correct amino acid substrate. After binding the correct amino acid, an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase recruits the appropriate tRNA to the active site by recognizing a number of sequences and structural features in a specific tRNA.(C) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have an additional active site that binds to non-cognate tRNAs. The tRNAs that bind to this second active are hydrolyzed and released from the enzyme.(D) First, the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase binds to its cognate tRNA by recognizing a number of specific sequences and structural features in the tRNA. Next, the synthetase-tRNA complex recruits the correct amino acid to the enzyme active site.(E) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases can rapidly hydrolyze the ester linkage between incorrectly paired RNAs and amino acids

Answer:

(C) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have an additional active site that binds to non-cognate tRNAs. The tRNAs that bind to this second active are hydrolyzed and released from the enzyme.

Explanation:

In case of translation, proof reading is done by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases only. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have two mechanisms to avoid error during translation which are mentioned as under:

<u>(1) Chemical proof reading:</u> Incorrect amino acids rather than being hydrolyzed in catalytic pocket get hydrolyzed in editing pocket and thus they hardly get attached to tRNA.  

For example: For distinguishing similar amino acids like isoleucine and valine, isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase uses a second active site which is meant for only valine not for isoleucine. In this particular site, valine which had entered the enzyme is cleaved away with the help of editing reaction after which the enzyme is well prepared to process isoleucine which is the correct amino acid for this enzyme.

<u>(2) Kinetic proof reading: </u>Even if an incorrect amino acid has entered a particular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, it does not cause appropriate conformational change in the enzyme because of which the incorrect amino acid loosens from the enzyme and does not get incorporated.

Note: In this example, only chemical proof reading is mentioned not kinetic proof reading.

Which of these statements describes a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) It does nothing to protect the atmosphere over Antarctica.</em>

Explanation:

On December 1, 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington. According to this treaty, Antarctica was to be used for peaceful purposes. This treaty regulates international relations with the Antarctica region. Freedom to different scientists for research in this area was given through this treaty.

However, the treaty did not discuss anything related to the protection of the atmosphere around Antarctica. Hence, option D can be considered to be a limitation of the Antarctic Treaty  System.

An organism is discovered that thrives in both the presence and absence of oxygen. Interestingly, as oxygen is removed from the
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

It is a facultative anaerobic organism.

Explanation:

This organism makes ATP (energy provider molecule) by aerobic respiration in presence of oxygen, but when oxygen is removed it is capable of switching to fermentation (sugar consumption increases and growth rate decreases).

This happens because fermentation is much less effective at producing ATP and therefore there is not enough energy for growth.

This organisms are called facultative anaerobic.

Organisms with this type of metabolism include bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella or yeast like Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
