Document Summary

Translation- youtube video: translation is the synthesis of a protein from a mrna template, key molecules: mrna, ribosomes (large/small), trna, release factor. Small ribosome attaches to cap- move to initiation site trna has anti codon binds to complementary rrna codon (aug: attached to trna is the corresponding amino acid. Stop codon it put at (a) site and a release factor emerges: amino acids chain gets bigger, translation is terminated, newly formed protein is released. Translation: protein synthesis -rna to protein, ribosomes binds the amino acids together. Function: protein factories; synthesizes proteins, matches the genetic code (codon) on mrna to the correct anticodons on trna. "read" as triplets of nucleotides that can produce a protein. "in frame" start codon, a series of codons and a stop codon: can being anywhere in rna molecule. The genetic code exam: given single strand molecule- make double strand transcribe, turn into protein,
