Consider protein made up of 150 amino acid residues. How many GTP molecules will be required for elongation? GTPs are consumed per peptide bond formed (one elongation step and one termination step). 150 total for initiation and elongation, and 149 total for termination. Can you calculate? Which of the following statements are incorrect? Translation in eukaryotes uses only mRNA, which introns have been spliced out. With few exceptions, both eukaryotes and prokaryotes use the same genetic code in most genes. Initiation and termination are found and generally speaking, RNA splicing occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Protein synthesis occurs by nucleophilic attack by the amino group of the A-site aminoacyl-tRNA on the carbonyl of the growing peptide chain. None of the above. Which of the following mRNA sequences can be translated using the CUG start codon? Immune system proteins displayed on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Proteins involved in transcription factors. Antibodies. Enzymes.
