6. You analyzed a protein sample and found that it was methionine, leucine,
arginine, and glycine. What are the possible mRNA codons for these amino
acids? (Make a chart).

Respuesta :

Answer:

In the analysis, it is necessary to have into account the characteristics of each of these amino acids:

Lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg) are charged (basic) amino acids. On the other hand, glycine is an amino acid generally found in the surface of proteins. Finally, methionine (Met) is known to have both polar and non-polar properties .

The codons involved in the formation of these amino acids are:

Methionine: ATG (start codon)

Leucine: CTT; CTC; CTA; CTG

Arginine: CGT; CGC; CGA; CGG

Glycine: GGT; GGC; GGA; GGG
