What is the anticodon for CUA?

Amino Acid	Coding DNA Strand Base Triplets Not Transcribed	Transfer RNA Anticodons Complementary To M-RNA Codons
asparagine	AAT, AAC	UUA, UUG
aspartic acid	GAT, GAC	CUA, CUG
cysteine	TGT, TGC	ACA, ACG
glutamic acid	GAA, GAG	CUU, CUC

What is an example of an anticodon?

A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides located on one end of transfer RNA. It bounds to the complementary coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA during translation phase of protein synthesis. For example the anticodon for Glycine is CCC that binds to the codon (which is GGG) of mRNA.

What is the anticodon of Gug?

Because of wobble, G can also pair with U. Thus, the tRNA for histidine has the anticodon GUG and recognizes both CAC and CAU in the mRNA.

What are the three stop codons?

Three of the 64 codons are “punctuation marks,” reserved for signaling the end of a protein chain. Called stop codons, the three sequences are UAG, UAA, and UGA. Historically, the stop codons have the nicknames: amber, UAG; ochre, UAA; and opal, UGA.

How do you read an Anticodon?

Since codons in mRNA are read in the 5′ → 3′direction, anticodons are oriented in the 3′ → 5′ direction, as Figure 3-19 shows. Each tRNA is specific for only one amino acid and carries that amino acid attached at its free 3′ end. Amino acids are added to the tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

Is Aug always the start codon?

At the start of the initiation phase of translation, the ribosome attaches to the mRNA strand and finds the beginning of the genetic message, called the start codon (Figure 4). This codon is almost always AUG, which corresponds to the amino acid methionine.

What happens if start codon is mutated?

In cases of start codon mutation, as usual, the mutated mRNA would be shunted to the ribosomes, but the translation would not take place. Hence, it cannot necessarily produce proteins, as this codon lacks a proper nucleotide sequence that can act as a reading frame.
