    Charging Genetics
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the process of charging tRNA, specifically the enzymatic complex involved in attaching amino acids to tRNA. Participants express a need for simpler explanations, as standard molecular biology textbooks often present the information in a complex manner. Key points include the role of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase in the attachment process and the significance of the acceptor arm and CCA sequence in tRNA. Links to resources are shared, with one participant noting that while some sources provide concise explanations, they may lack comprehensive details about the enzymatic mechanisms. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenge of understanding tRNA charging and the desire for more accessible educational materials.

Hi could some one please explain Charging of tRNA (for dummies) ?
Like i wanted info of the enzume complex during amino acid attachement and how the acceptor arm and CCA accepts the amino acid.

This topic is covered in most molecular biology textbooks. For example, see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK26829/#_A1062_
I know its covered in most bio textbooks.But i can't udestand what they r saying ! I wanted like a simple explanation for dummies...
 
If anyone is still interested i found another link which is pretty consise but it just explains the bonding part and doesn't talk a bit about amino acyl tRNA Synthasaze.http://biochem.co/2008/08/the-attachment-of-amino-acids-to-trna-aminoacylation/

Thread 'Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)'

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/body-dysmorphia/ Most people have some mild apprehension about their body, such as one thinks their nose is too big, hair too straight or curvy. At the extreme, cases such as this, are difficult to completely understand. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/why-would-someone-want-to-amputate-healthy-limbs/ar-AA1MrQK7?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=68ce4014b1fe4953b0b4bd22ef471ab9&ei=78 they feel like they're an amputee in the body of a regular person "For...

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
