Translation synthesis

Translation Synthesis of protein using mRNA as template. 

The thyroid hormone thyroxine (tetraiodo-thyronine, T4) and its active form triiodothyronine (T3) are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. The iodine atoms at positions 3 and 5 of the two phenol rings are characteristic of them. Post-translational synthesis of thyroxine takes place in the thyroid gland from tyrosine residues of the protein thyro-globulin, from which it is proteolytically cleaved before being released, iodothyronines are the only organic molecules in the animal organism that contain iodine. They increase the basal metabolic rate, partly by regulating mitochondrial ATP synthesis, in addition, they promote embryonic development. 

It was widely expressed that more effort needs to be put into making research outcomes more accessible (Scott et al., 2005). Different audiences need different outputs, and traditional forms of communication within the science community do not meet policy makers needs. Many felt that two key stages are currently neglected dissemination of scientific knowledge beyond the scientific world and translation/synthesis of findings for policy. In different science-meets-policy events, it was considered that the job is only half done on completion of a research project. Synthesis is needed across the research portfolio. Policy makers are also interested in work in progress projects should be required to produce an annual summary of policy implications ( layman report ).

Any attempt in learning also needs information on situations where the event to be studied will not occur. This principle, if translated to learning on reactions, would require information on reactions that will not proceed. Unfortunately, such information is not contained in reaction databases, and therefore has to he generated. In our case, we also needed information on which regioisomer is not formed, or is formed only to a minor extent, in a pyrazole synthesis.

Genes are DNA and carry the inheritable characteristics of an organism and these characteristics are normally expressed at the molecular level via protein synthesis Gene expression consists of two stages transcription and translation, both of which involve RNAs Sections 28 11 and 28 12 describe these RNAs and their roles m transcription and translation... 

As described in the preceding sections protein synthesis involves transcription of the DNA to rtiRNA followed by translation of the mRNA as an amino acid sequence In addition to outlining the mechanics of transcription we have described the relationship among mRNA codons tRNA anticodons and ammo acids... 

A potentially general method of identifying a probe is, first, to purify a protein of interest by chromatography (qv) or electrophoresis. Then a partial amino acid sequence of the protein is deterrnined chemically (see Amino acids). The amino acid sequence is used to predict likely short DNA sequences which direct the synthesis of the protein sequence. Because the genetic code uses redundant codons to direct the synthesis of some amino acids, the predicted probe is unlikely to be unique. The least redundant sequence of 25—30 nucleotides is synthesized chemically as a mixture. The mixed probe is used to screen the Hbrary and the identified clones further screened, either with another probe reverse-translated from the known amino acid sequence or by directly sequencing the clones. Whereas not all recombinant clones encode the protein of interest, reiterative screening allows identification of the correct DNA recombinant.

Amino acids are the main components of proteins. Approximately twenty amino acids are common constituents of proteins (1) and are called protein amino acids, or primary protein amino acids because they are found in proteins as they emerge from the ribosome in the translation process of protein synthesis (2), or natural amino acids. In 1820 the simplest amino acid, glycine, was isolated from gelatin (3) the most recendy isolated, of nutritional importance, is L-threonine which was found (4) in 1935 to be a growth factor of rats. The history of the discoveries of the amino acids has been reviewed... 

Cellular protein biosynthesis involves the following steps. One strand of double-stranded DNA serves as a template strand for the synthesis of a complementary single-stranded messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in a process called transcription. This mRNA in turn serves as a template to direct the synthesis of the protein in a process called translation. The codons of the mRNA are read sequentially by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which bind specifically to the mRNA via triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to the particular codon, called an anticodon. Protein synthesis occurs on a ribosome, a complex consisting of more than 50 different proteins and several stmctural RNA molecules, which moves along the mRNA and mediates the binding of the tRNA molecules and the formation of the nascent peptide chain. The tRNA molecule carries an activated form of the specific amino acid to the ribosome where it is added to the end of the growing peptide chain. There is at least one tRNA for each amino acid.
