Chapter 27, Problem 27.20P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The mRNA code for the peptide, PheArgGlyHisTrp is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid is the most important biomolecule that stores genetic information of a living organism. In other words, DNA is the blueprint of all organisms. The DNA first synthesizes RNA by the process of transcription and then the RNA synthesizes the proteins by the process of translation. The ribose molecule gets attached to this mRNA to form rRNA. The codon is a three-base sequence on mRNA.

Answer to Problem 27.20P

The DNA codes for Phe are 5'TTT3' and 5'TTC3'. The codes for Arg are 5'CGT3', 5'CGC3' 5'CGA3', and 5'CGG3'. The codes for Gly are 5'GGT3', 5'GGC3', 5'GGA3', and 5'GGG3'. The codes for His are 5'CAT3' and 5'CAC3'. The codes for Trp are 5'TGG3'.

Explanation of Solution

In the case of DNA, thymine base is present instead of uracil base rest remains the same. The given peptide chain is shown below.

PheArgGlyHisTrp

The triplet codon for the amino acid Phe that codes at 5' end is T.

The triplet codon for the amino acid Phe that codes at the middle is T.

The triplet codon for the amino acid Phe that codes at 3' end are T, C.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The tRNA is used in the synthesis of protein. The tRNA has a cloverleaf shape structure. It contains two specific sites, one is anticodon loop that attaches to mRNA and other is 3' terminal that attaches to the specific amino acid. The anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. The anticodon loop has three bases that are complementary to the base sequence present in mRNA codon.

Answer to Problem 27.20P

The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is 3'ACC5'.

Explanation of Solution

The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at 5' end is T.

The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at the middle is G.

The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at 3' end is G.

Therefore, the codes for Trp are 5'TGG3'. The anticodon for Trp is complementary nucleotide base which codes for it. This means the nucleotide base T complements to A base and nucleotide base G complements to C. Therefore, the anticodon for Trp in tRNA is 3'ACC5'.

Conclusion

The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is 3'ACC5'.
