Study Notes

Translation and Gene Expression

Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome to be incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

RNA Isolation

Organic extraction is used to separate RNA from other cellular components, such as proteins and DNA, to obtain a pure RNA sample.
Trizol reagent is a monophasic solution of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate that denatures proteins and solubilizes lipids, allowing for the separation of RNA from other cellular components.

Codon Chart

A codon chart, also known as the genetic code table, is a reference guide that shows how nucleotide triplets (codons) correspond to specific amino acids during translation.

Ribosomes

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, where mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain, and they play a central role in gene expression.
