Provide the three-letter amino acid sequence expected from each of the following

Question

Provide the three-letter amino acid sequence expected from each of the following mRNA segments. 5-UUU-GGG-ACC-AAC-3' At the stop of the segment type STOP. 5'-UUC-UAC-CAU-AGG-UAA-3' At the stop of the segment type stop. 5'-AUG-CAC-AAA-GAA-GUA-CUU-3' At the stop of the segment type stop. Activation of the fatty acid (converting it to fatty acyl-SCoA) requires the expenditure of 2 ATPs. Use your answers from parts B and C to calculate the total number of ATPs generated from the metabolism of a saturated fatty acid with 10 carbon atoms including both the citric acid cycle and the beta-oxidation pathway as well as the initial ATP required to produce the acyl-SCoA molecule that starts the process. Express your answer as an integer.

Explanation / Answer

1) UUU- Phenylalanine

GGG-Glycine

ACC- Threonine

AAC- Asparagine

Peptide chain => Phe-Gly- Thr-Asx-STOP

2) UUC- Phenylalanine

UAC-Tyrosine

CAU- Histidine

AGG-Argenine

Peptide chain=> Phe-Tyr-His-Arg-STOP
