1 Corinthians 1:10 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement.

Polypeptides: Protein Synthesis
Timothy G. Standish, Ph. D.

Ad Hominem "The phrase arguments ad hominem translates literally as "argument directed to the man." .... It is committed when, instead of trying to disprove what is asserted one attacks the person who made the assertion This argument is fallacious, because the personal character of an individual is logically irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of what that individual says or the correctness or incorrectness of that individual's argument. ... The way in which this irrelevant argument may sometimes persuade is through the psychological process of transference. Where an attitude of disapproval toward a person can be evoked, it may possibly tend to overflow the strictly emotional field and become disagreement with what that person says. But this connection is only psychological, not logical. Even the most wicked of men may sometimes tell the truth or argue correctly.” Copi I.M., Introduction to Logic," [1953], Macmillan Publishing Co: New York NY, Seventh Edition, 1986, p.92.

Ribosomes The Protein Factories
Ribosomes are the organelles in which the mRNA nucleotide language is translated into the protein language The two ribosome subunits are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins Ribosomes in eukaryotes follow the same basic plan as those in prokaryotes although they are slightly larger

Initiation The small ribosome subunit binds to the 5’ untranslated region of mRNA The small ribosomal subunit slides along the mRNA 5’ to 3’ until it finds a start codon (AUG) The initiator tRNA with methionine binds to the start codon The large ribosomal subunit binds with the initiator tRNA in the P site

Prokaryotic Initiation
Prokaryotic initiation involves the recognition of a conserved sequence 10 bases upstream from the start codon on mRNA This conserved sequence is called the Shine-Dalgarno sequence - 5’…AGGAGG…3’ This sequence is complimentary to a highly conserved sequence near the 16S rRNA 3’ end - 3’…UCCUCC…5’ The start codon is usually AUG, but less often GUG and (least often) UUG are used

Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase
Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase enzymes attach the correct amino acids to the correct tRNA This is an energy consuming process Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases recognize tRNAs on the basis of their looped structure, not by direct recognition of the anticodon
