complex forms, initiator tRNA charged with methionine + small ribosomal subunit bound to mRNA triggers beginning of translation
more than 1 ribosome moves along mRNA at one time
ribosome moves along mRNA in 5'-to-3' direction, polypeptides grow from N terminus, charged tRNA's bring amino acids to the ribosome sequentially
presence of stop codon in A site of ribosome, completed protein released
7. What happens during termination?
more than 1 ribosome moves along mRNA at one time
complex forms, initiator tRNA charged with methionine + small ribosomal subunit bound to mRNA triggers beginning of translation
presence of stop codon in A site of ribosome, completed protein released
ribosome moves along mRNA in 5'-to-3' direction, polypeptides grow from N terminus, charged tRNA's bring amino acids to the ribosome sequentially, specificity provided by: the anticodon interaction and the accuracy of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
