protein biosynthesisHello All
I would like to know to which end of the elongating protein chain, during biosysnthesis, is the next amino acid attached. Amino or carboxyl. Thank you. Gord _______________________________________________ Proteins mailing list Proteins@... http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/proteins |

And note that above is true only for biological protein synthesis, chemists do it the other way round (Merrifield peptide synthesis). In case of daubt, it is worthwhile to write peptides like NH2-XXXXX-COOH (I have been burned!) _______________________________________________ Proteins mailing list Proteins@... http://www.bio.net/biomail/listinfo/proteins |
