Protein Synthesis: Translation Process

In the translation process, interpretation of genetic codes in form of codon along mRNA would create a particular protein. The translator is the transfer RNA (tRNA) which has three nucleoide (anticodon) specific for each type of amino acid. The anticodon bond to the complementary codon of the mRNA and transfering amino acids from cytoplasm to ribosome.

so much better than 80 minutes of my bio teacher. suck it mrs anderson.

@aZYLuM12891 I'd hope so....this topic is usually covered in biology/biochem/microbio, not chemistry

..but where does the tRNA come from?

[umiiAfro]

yheeeeeeeeyyyyyy i get it now

Thank you, had to research this for homework, mRNA was easy to understand but before this video tRNA didn't make sense.

Ps. i'm from england, not from an 'American public school'. wanker.

THANK YOU! This makes so much sense now!!!!!

This video is nice, but a little misleading. The video implies at the end that the stop codon is also a code for the delivery of another amino acid. But the stop codes just stop the process. The stop codes (UAA, UAG, UGA) do not code for the delivery of an amino acid. In the video, the final codon is UGA and if you notice a tRNA still delivers an amino acid. The stop codons simply stop the ribosome from continuing the process.

sry translation but call of duty is just more interesting

All these kids on here must be in crappy american public schools. My teachers taught everything well. lol

This is amazing...I was so lost in class. I shall not fail:)

@philidelphia96 Thank you! this really clarifies things for me! I have a big biology test on Monday. Thanks again!

@cheezeydude rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA, which is just one of the three different forms of RNA you can have, but this one is designated to be created for the function of a ribosome. So you are right, basically the rRNA is attaching itself to an mRNA (but it is better to just consider rRNA a ribosome for clarification). mRNA came from the DNA. Much like DNA replication, mRNA copied the base pairs from the DNA and the was able to attach to a ribosome.
