SStell Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Is there a structural similarity between the large subunit of the ribosome and the tRNA synthetase with the tRNA in it? The ribosome is made of rRNA and proteins and the tRNA synthetase is made of protein and the tRNA and both have to do with amino acids. One puts them on and the other takes them off. Is there a correlation in the tertiary structures or quaternary structure or in their respective codes?
BabcockHall Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I am not sure. However, you are probably already aware that EF-G resembles a charged tRNA molecule. 1
SStell Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 BabcockHall, thanks for your quick reply. No, I was not aware of this but now I am. This gives me another bone to chew on for awhile. Thanks
