Understandings:
7.3.U1: Initiation of translation involves assembly of the components that carry out the process.
7.3.U2: Synthesis of the polypeptide involves a repeated cycle of events.
7.3.U3: Disassembly of the components follows termination of translation.
7.3.U4: Free ribosomes synthesize proteins primarily for secretion or use in lysosomes.
7.3.U5: Bound ribosomes synthesize proteins for use primarily within the cell.
7.3.U6: Translation can occur immediately after transcription in prokaryotes due to the absence of a nuclear membrane.
7.3.U7: The sequence and number of amino acids in the polypeptide is the primary structure.
7.3.U8: The secondary structure is the formation of alpha helices and beta pleated sheets stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
7.3.U9: The tertiary structure is the further folding of the polypeptide stabilized by interactions between R groups.
7.3.U10: The quaternary structure exists in proteins with more than one polypeptide chain.
Applications:
7.3.A1: tRNA-activating enzymes illustrate enzyme-substrate specificity and the role of phosphorylation.
Skills:
7.3.S1: The use of molecular visualization software to analyze the structure of eukaryotic ribosomes and tRNA molecules.
7.3.S2: Identification of polysomes in electron micrographs of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Nature of Science:
7.3.NOS: Developments in scientific research follow improvements in computing- the use of commuters has enabled scientists to make advances in bioinformatics applications such as locating genes within genomes and identifying conserved sequences.
