Question
Chapter 31, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of ATP and GTP molecules required to synthesize a 22-amino acid residue protein chain should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Protein synthesis (translation) is a process of generating new protein sequences inside the cell. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. This process is balanced by the degradation or export of cellular proteins. It is constituted of three steps, initiation, elongation, and termination. During this process, the function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is to form an ester bond between an amino acid and its respective tRNA.
