synthetic mRNA is added to a cell-free protein-synthesizing system and produces a peptide with the following amino acid sequence: Met-Pro-Ile-Ser-Ala. What would be the effect on translation if the listed components were ommitted from the cell-free protein-synthesizing system, how would this affect the protein produced, and why would the selected effect occur?

Step 1
A typical cell-free protein-synthesizing system includes essential components such as ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), amino acids, and various factors required for translation (e.g., initiation factors, elongation factors, and release factors). Show more…
