Given the DNA template strand 3' GCATTCAAG 5', write the amino acid sequence in the N‑terminal to C‑terminal direction. Note: En
ter the amino acids using their three-letter designations. Put a hyphen between each amino acid. (for example, Glu‑Asp‑Val).
1 answer:
N-terminal Arg-Lys-Phe C-terminal
The universal codon code is attached for reference. The central dogma (DNA --> RNA--> Proteins) concept is used to translate the information in DNA into proteins.
Explanation:
We shall begin with the transcription of the DNA strand to form an mRNA. Remember that RNA has no Thiamine base but instead in its place is Uracil;
3' GCATTCAAG 5' DNA strand
5’ CGUAAGUUC 3’ RNA strand
We can then begin translating the mRNA into protein using the universal codon code (attached). Remember a codon is a 3 nucleotide sequence that codes for a specific amino acid;
5’ CGUAAGUUC 3’ RNA strand
N-terminal Arg-Lys-Phe C-terminal Peptide strand
