Protein synthesis, informatics, and mutations exercises 7. The tRNA with the anticodon AAA is mutated to the different anticodon AUA. What effect will this change have on the identity of amino acids incorporated? (a) Amino acid (alanine) Acceptor stem D loop T?CG loop Variable loop Anticodon loop Anticodon Codon mRNA

5. An anticodon on a tRNA has the sequence: 5’–GCA–3’ a) What amino acid is carried by this tRNA? b) If there is wobble base pairing, will it change what amino acid will be brought in? c) What would be the effect if the G in the anticodon were mutated to a U?
Adi S.
An anticodon has the sequence GCG. What amino acid does this tRNA carry? What would be the effect of a mutation that changed the C of the anticodon to G?
Madhur L.
A tRNA is chemically modified so that the amino acid bound is different than the one specified by its anticodon. Which codon in the mRNA would the tRNA recognize: the one specified by its anticodon or the one that matches the modified amino acid it carries? a. The anticodon will match the codon in mRNA. b. The anticodon will match with the modified amino acid it carries. c. The anticodon will lose the specificity for the tRNA molecule. d. The enzyme amino acyl tRNA synthetase would lose control over the amino acid.
