  • tRNA is correct : )

    And hedley! I really appreciate the input, though at the time of the film I was in a basic Bio class, where the elongation factors weren't addressed in detail.

    The movie is just meant to be a short overview of the process. Maybe a better/detailed vid in the future? : )

  • This.. actually helped me get an A on this test. It's pretty amazing how 1 video can make a difference between an F and an A

  • good work, liked the music.... maybe next time with commentary ;)

see all

  • how exactly does the tRNA bond with the amino acid?

  • @unkerg44 I watched so many videos on this and THIS ONE was the only one that helped (A LOT)

  • That ribosome looks like a goomba

  • @darkyoss

    there are 2 on the small subunit of the ribosome and 3 on the large- the e site is the exit site and the tRNA briefly is bound to the large subunit in this site before leaving the ribosome.

  • I love this vid, im doing a project on protien synthesis at school, so i decided to youtube it to get some study done and explained to me. Good job, liked the music :p

  • HAHAH thats a mazing thanks for your efforts.

  • 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!

  • @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.

  • 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 !!!!!!
