Question

Name the scientist who postulated the presence of an adapter molecule that can assist in protein synthesis. Describe its structure with the help of a diagram. Mention its role in protein synthesis

Answer 1

Explanation:

Paul Zamecnik and M Hoagland together had discovered the transfer RNA (tRNA). It is RNA molecule responsible for the translation process in protein synthesis. In two dimensions tRNA has three loops one of which is the anti codon .

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Francis Crick.

2. Clover leaf/inverted L,

Clover leaf/inverted L,Anticodon loop acceptor end

Clover leaf/inverted L,Anticodon loop acceptor endIt reads codons on mRNA with the help of anticodon loop, brings the corresponding amino acid for the formation of polypeptide chain.
