- Translation
Translation is the process by which a triplet base sequence of mRNA molecules are converted into a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain in the cytoplasm of a cell. It consists of initiation, elongation, and termination. The mRNA, a...
- A Special Initiator Trna Starts The Polypeptide Chain
KEY TERMS:The initiation codon is a special codon (usually AUG) used to start synthesis of a protein. N-formyl-methionyl-tRNA (tRNAfMet) is the aminoacyl-tRNA that initiates bacterial protein synthesis. The amino group of the methionine is formylated....
- # 35 The Genetic Code - Protein Synthesis
The genetic code specifies the amino acids that are assembled to make polypeptides. The way that DNA codes for polypeptides is central to our understanding of how cells and organisms function. A polypeptide is coded for...
