describe the process of translation initiation, elongation, and termination.
1.1 initiation: the protein synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of mRNA. The start codon in all mRNA molecules has the sequence AUG and codes for methionine. Next, the large ribosomal subunit binds to form the complete initiation complex.
elongation: Ribosome holds mRNA and allows complimentary tRNA to attach to binding sites. tRNA binds to ‘P’ site and another tRNA binds to ‘A’ site. The binding causes a change, the amino acid lets go of tRNA and bind to neighbouring amino acids
termination: which occurs when a stop codon arrives in the ribosomal A-site and is recognized by a trans-acting protein
How did today’s activity to a good job of modelling the process of translation? In what ways was our model inaccurate? today activity went well and I understood how does the process of translation works.
