Re: Is protein degrade by UV ?

It will depend on the wavelength of the UV light and its intensity. Aromatic amino acids, such as tyrosine, can absorb shorter-wavelength UV and become reactive. I found a lot of relevant information by searching the keyword group "UV tyrosine reactivity photochemistry" ...

Wobble hypothesis.How does met & trp not get mis translated?

... tRNA with the anticodon UAC. There is no any tRNA with the anticodon ACU. As an example for Wobble base pairing, we can consider the amino acid Tyrosine. It is coded by two codons, UAU and UAC. Both of these codons can be identified by the same tRNA molecule. The 5' base of the anticodon of ...

Re: how to memorize the amino acid

... amino acids are quite simple, since you just add benzene to the Ala and you have (surprisingly :lol:) phenylalanine; just add hydroxyl and you get tyrosine. Add imidazole and you get histidine. With the largest system you get tryptophan ;) For the acidic AAs, just add carboxyl to Ala and you get ...

Edman Degradation Problem

... or my book goes over which amino acids can be phosphorylated...but after some research on the internet I've come up with: serine, threonine, tyrosine, and histidine? Is this right? And as for the enzyme... either kinase or phosphatase? F) Again, I think I need the amino acid code for this, ...
