Protein Synthesis, Translation (2)

Protein Synthesis, Translation
Translation - the process of converting the mRNA codon sequences into an amino acid polypeptide chain.

1. Initiation - A ribosome attatches to the mRNA and starts to code at the FMet codon (usualy AUG, sometimes GUG or UUG).

2. Elongation - tRNA brings the corresponding amino acid to each codon as the ribosome moves down the mRNA strand.

3. Termination - Reading of the final mRNA codon (aka the STOP codon), which ends the sythesis of the peptide chain and releases it.

@danslatente just eukaryotic cells

[danslatente]

Is this only for prokaryotic cells, or also for eukaryotic cells? I am not sure but I remember that in prokaryotic cells there is no RNA processing, and the mRNA is decoded as soon as it is made by the polymerase

its easier when you actually see it cuz when u read it it gets confusing

It really helps. I like the simplified and mostly important the animation. It makes the understanding much easier!
