The antibodies have epitopes that bind to the paratropes present on the antigens. When an antibody is made specifically to target a particular kind of antigen (say A), its epitope will be a structural compliment to the paratrope. When an antibody encounters two different antigens (say A and B) with structurally similar paratropes, it will bind specifically to A and non-specifically to B, as the antibody is not made in response to antigen B. This non-specific binding is referred to as blocking.

Translate the following segment: TAC-TGA-GGG-CTG-ATT<br>Please help me​
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Tyr-stop codon-Gly-Leu-Ile (5'3' Frame)

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a specific fragment of DNA (i.e., a gene) is used as template to synthesize an RNA molecule, typically a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then used as template to synthesize a protein in the ribosomes by a process called translation. During translation, each triplet of nucleotides (i.e., each codon) in the mRNA is read in order from the 5' end to the 3' end to add an amino acid to the nascent polypeptide chain. This 'genetic code' is not overlapping because each codon specifies one of 20 amino acid total possible and 3 stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA). In this case, the second codon "TGA" in DNA or "UGA" in RNA (Uracil always replaces Adenine during transcription) is a stop codon that indicates the end of mRNA transcription.
