    moves along it to an AUG “start” codon. Large ribosomal subunit joins complex. Initiation must occur in the order listed above. Elongation- mRNA passes through ribosomal subunits. tRNAs deliver amino acids to the ribosomal binding site in the order specified by the mRNA. Peptide bonds form between the amino acids and the polypeptide chain grows. Termination- A stop codon in the mRNA moves onto the ribosomal binding site. No tRNA has a corresponding anticodon. Proteins called release factors bind to

    consisting of amino acids are an essential component of life. Ribosomes are responsible for assembling these very important structures. On the other hand‚ ricin inhibits protein synthesis (Krieger 2010). Relatively comparing‚ a dose the size of a few tablespoons can kill a human (Krieger 2010). Thus‚ ricin can be considered detrimental to life. With ricin and ribosome being polar opposite‚ scientists try to apply the ricin’s capabilities in a positive direction. Ricin’s ability to disrupt amino acids chains

The shorter sized mRNA’s in the presence of microsomes‚ are the non cleaved residue peptides in which the signal peptidase is unable to cleave the signal sequence amino acid. B. Band B is the cleavage of the signal sequence by the signal peptidase. The cleavage of the polypeptide weighs less then when the protein was attached to the signal sequence and before it grows in the ER lumen. This is evident from the diagram

    deficiency in homogentisic acid 1‚2 dioxygenase‚ an enzyme that is found in the liver and plays a key role in the catabolism of amino acids such as phenylalanine and tyrosine. Due to the lack of homogentisic acid 1‚2 dioxygenase‚ the affected individual will experience a build-up of homogentisic acid in the body‚ namely in fibrous and cartilaginous tissue(ref1). Homogentisic acid is part of the catabolic chain from phenylalanine and tyrosine to fumarate and acetoacetic acid. Alkaptonuria received its
