Soluble Rna (Noun)
Meaning
RNA molecules present in the cell (in at least 20 varieties, each variety capable of combining with a specific amino acid) that attach the correct amino acid to the protein chain that is being synthesized at the ribosome of the cell (according to directions coded in the mRNA).
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The process of attaching amino acids to the growing protein chain at the ribosome involves transfer RNA or soluble RNA molecules that recognize and bind specific codons.
- Soluble RNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the site of protein synthesis and correctly aligning them according to the specifications of the messenger RNA sequence.
- Researchers have identified over twenty varieties of soluble RNA, each specifically designed to combine with a particular amino acid during translation.
- During protein synthesis, soluble RNA molecules play a crucial role in ensuring that the correct amino acids are linked together in the proper sequence as dictated by the genetic code.
- The soluble RNA molecule is positioned between the messenger RNA and the developing polypeptide chain, serving as an adapter that accurately interprets the codons and selects the corresponding amino acids.
