Question

suppose the following amino acid chain was created based on a students transcription and translation: tyr - leu - pro - met. in the chain, which data show a possible source of error? explain the error.

Explanation:

In protein synthesis, methionine (Met) is typically the start - amino acid. It should be the first amino acid in a newly synthesized polypeptide chain, not in the middle as shown here. This indicates an error in the transcription or translation process.

Answer:

The position of Met is an error. Methionine is usually the start - amino acid and should be at the beginning of the chain, not in the middle.
