rna

Answer 1

Translation is the process during which a base sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence. We already got to know the most important components of protein biosynthesis: mRNA, tRNA, amino acids, ATP, GTP, magnesium ions, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and 'factors' (see below). Additionally are ribosomes necessary.

No structural relationship exists between codon and its respective amino acid. Consequently is an adapter, a tRNA, necessary to bind the amino acid and to recognize the respective codon. In a tRNA structure is / are:

the anticodon always found at the same place, at the end of one of the loops.

the bases of the anticodon 'free'. i.e. they are not paired with other bases of the tRNA.

the amino acid linked to the 3'-terminus of the tRNA, opposite of the anticodon.

a clearly defined tertiary structure found. The molecules are of a compact form.

The mentioned properties are the preconditions for the adapter function. Due to the compact form can several tRNAs bind next to each other to a mRNA so that codon after codon is bound. Such associations cannot take place in solution due to the lack of stability. To form a peptide link between two neighbouring amino acids do they have to be very close to each other. Since one or several enzymes are unable to perform this task, is the surface of a large supramolecular structure, the ribosome, needed.

Answer 2

Proteins. RNA is Translated by ribosomes into proteins.
