And this is an amino acid.

For example, we might say that, and this isn't the actual code, but maybe UAC, and I should look these up.

A's and G's and T's.

And some other ones that are not used in the set of 20, they will not appear at all in any type of concentration.

And these proteins, the building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

My little tRNA's pull up, pull up next to it, and they each hold a payload, right?

And if I have I mean, I think you get the idea.

But all of these things are proteins, and all these

looking at day and night. (Laughter)

And tRNA molecules are these molecules that are attached to the they're almost like the trucks for the amino acids.

It has the code AUG.

It's a very long chain of these amino acids, and there are actually 20 different amino acids.

So three base pairs make a codon.

So this first one holds this payload right here of this amino acid.

Well, three times as much, right?

But that's still not enough.

This codes for amino acid number 1.

The animals can't manufacture the amino acid, lysine.

Triplets of those letters code for roughly 20 amino acids, such that there's a single letter designation for each of the amino acids.

Welcome to MlT. Now you're in your element.

What about the lysine contingency? We could put that into effect. What's that?

All of this stuff came from a different cell.

I don't know, let's call it amino acid 1, amino acid 5, amino acid 20.

Some of these are multiple chains of amino acids kind of fitting together like a big puzzle, but some of them or just single chains of amino acids.

It's what happens in proteins.

They'll be attached to tRNA molecules.

Well it turns out, we have many different alternatives for such a set of building blocks.

So that we actually, to test this idea, first took a look at amino acids and some other carboxylic acids.

I really just want to give you the big picture idea of how the proteins are actually formed.

And this one happens to be a good source of all 20 amino acids.

Of course, there is still glycine and alanine, but in fact, there are these heavy elements, these heavy amino acids, that are being produced because they are valuable to the organism.

Now, genes are short segments of DNA that code for amino acids.
