tRNAs in translation<br />
Fig. 3.17
tRNAs mediate incorporation of amino<br />
acids into protein<br />
Charged tRNA<br />
Incorporation of radioactive<br />
amino acid ( 14 C-Leucine)<br />
onto tRNA was followed.<br />

14C- Leucine from charged tRNA<br />
into protein was followed<br />
over time.
The tRNA, not the amino acid, reads the codon<br />
(reduces Cysteine<br />
to Alanine)<br />

The tRNA anticodon is a key determinant<br />
for tRNA charging<br />
CAU<br />
The effect of mutations in the<br />
tRNA-Met anticodon loop on<br />
methionine charging was<br />
tested. (CAU = wild-type).
