MOlecular Biology Trivial Pursuit

[ratcliffe1 at csufresno.edu]

3 questions for anyone:
1) when two amino acids are joined by a peptide bond during protein
synthesis, is that reaction exothermic?  If endothermic, what energy
drives it forward?  If exothermic, how many kcals/mole are released?
2) One often hears of The Central Dogma of molecular biology, referring
to information flow from DNA to mRNA to protein.  Is this idea credited
to Francis Crick?  If not Crick, then whom?
3) How many amino acids long is sucrase?

Thanks for letting me tap into your knowledge base,
