Question

What is the reaction catalyzed by aminoacyl-trna synthetases? see section 17.4 ( page 357) . what is the reaction catalyzed by aminoacyl-trna synthetases? see section 17.4 ( page 357) . these enzymes catalyze formation of the bonds between the trna and the appropriate amino acids. these enzymes carry out synthesis of new proteins, joining amino acids via peptide bonds. these enzymes catalyze the formation of trnas. these enzymes modify the mrna into its mature form?

Answer 1

Answer: These enzymes catalyze formation of the bonds between the trna and the appropriate amino acids.

Aminoacyi-tRNA synthase can also be refers to tRNA-ligase. It is an enzyme that catalyse the attachement of specific amino acid onto its tRNA and this process is achieved by esterification of an specific amino acid to one of its compatible cognate tRNAs to form aminoactyl-tRNA. In summary, this enzymefunction by catalying the formation of the bonds between the tRNA and the specific amino acids.
