PROTEIN SYNTHESIS PROBLEMS
Name: __________________________
1. Given the following Nitrogenous Base sequence for an original DNA strand
determine its complimentary strand.
Original Strand:
TAC CCG GAT AAT GGA CAT ATT
Complimentary Strand: _____ ______ ______ _____ ______ ______ ______
2. Given the Nitrogenous Base sequence for the original DNA strand in the
previous question determine the transcribed mRNA strand.
mRNA:
_____ ______ ______ _____ ______ ______ ______
3. Draw the first three tRNA molecules that would be involved the initiation and
elongation of the amino acid sequence or protein. Make sure to include the
specific anti-codon and amino acid in your drawings.
4. Determine the complete Amino Acid sequence translated from the mRNA
codons you determined in question 2 (use the genetic code on page 237).
Represent the amino acids using the first three letters of the amino acids
name (except if glutamine and glutamate).
Amino Acids:
