Protein Synthesis : Translation 2008

this rules

im wondering what is GTP and what is the function of it???
what is function of large ribosomal subunit and small unit??

if anyone knows the answer plz tell me cuz i have a test about it !!!!!!

@6TM9
GTP is kinda like ATP in that it is used for ENERGY!

GTP is more specific than ATP because it is only used during translation (and some other things but whatever). GTP is needed to bring tRNA into the ribosome and also for the mRNA to be pulled inward after each Amino acid has been added. In other words, 2 GTP are used each time an amino acid is added.

if people knew what they are for then they wouldnt have to watch this video. but i think the small unit is needed because the mrna chain has to go SOMEWHERE to start making a polypeptide, cant just try making them willynilly in the cytop[lasm on their oun can they? the large part is probably needed.... to make a comeplete ribosome? a machine cant work with a part missing, right? i hope this helps. although i probably shoudnt even answered since im not sure, but i put alot of thought in this!

3 sites correct
not 2 sites

Very good

Gregor und Ali sagen Köszönöm!

amazingly done! but please, READ THIS: there are 2 sites for tRNA not three. ty

my whole biology class watched this video

Very well explained
