Answer #1

Translation is an active process. Translation has four main steps. First of all every amino acid needs to be charged. The energetics of translation and formation of 100 amino acid residues polypeptide chain is given here. Please find the attached solution:

3. Genetic Information in E. coli DNA The genetic information contained in DNA consists of a linear sequence of coding units, known as codons. Each codon is a specific sequence of three deoxyribonucleotides (three deoxyribonucleotide pairs in double-stranded DNA), and each codon codes for a single amino acid unit in a protein. The molecular weight of an E. coli DNA molecule is about 3.1 3 109 g/mol. The average molecular weight of a nucleotide pair is 660 g/mol, and each...
