Re: Homework help!... GCA AUU D) I am assuming we are using (AUG ACA CGC UUA CGU UAA): 1. AUG = Methionine (start codon) 2. ACA = Threonine 3. CGC = Arginine 4. UUA = Leucine 5. CGU = Arginine 6. UAA = Stop [Not entirely sure about the last, but the sequencing seems to work out correctly]

Inhibition of RNA/DNA/protein synthesis... there is a way to detect inhibition of macromolecules in bacteria by antibiotics with an non radioactive method. normally we use tritium-labelled leucine, thymidine, uridine. I know that these radioactive precursors are very sensitive, but is there a non radioactive method? Can someone help me ...

See entire post Re: Polar or non-polar: Conflicting answers... polarity is a relative thing. Certainly, compared to an ionized Aspartate or Glutamate, it is relatively non-polar, but compared to an Alanine or Leucine, it is polar. The phenolic OH can be fully ionized (though it’s rare to find one in a protein), and Tyrosines often hydrogen-bonds with ligands ...
