Vocabulary Journal #4

 

Hellooo Journal,



IT'S VOCABULARY TIME..


Glycosylation 

A controlled enzymatic modification that adds a sugar molecule to an organic molecule, usually a protein. It has a significant impact on protein structure, function, and stability. Glycosylation is known to change the structural three-dimensional organization of proteins.

Aminoacyl-tRNA 

It is the charged tRNA that has a chemical link with its corresponding amino acid (charged).  The aa-tRNA transports the amino acid to the ribosome, where it is incorporated into the polypeptide chain formed during translation, along with certain elongation factors.

Wobble Effect 

The wobble effect explains why many codons can code for the same amino acid. That is, because of the less-precise base pairings that can form between the 3rd base of the codon and the base at the 1st position on the anticodon, a single tRNA molecule (with one amino acid attached) can recognize and bind to many codons.
