ACTIVATION OF AMINO ACIDS AND ELONGATION OF THE POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN IN PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, have a unique process of protein synthesis compared to eukaryotes, such as humans. The process of protein synthesis in prokaryotes involves the activation of amino acids, the formation of an initiation complex, and the elongation of…
PROTEINS AND AMINO ACIDS
Introduction to proteins Proteins are complex biomolecules that are essential to all living organisms. They are composed of long chains of amino acids that fold into specific three-dimensional structures, giving them unique functions. In chemistry, proteins are studied at the…
