Document Summary

Met-trna binds to start with initiation factors. Large subunit binds met-trna in p site. Ribosome slides one amino acid met-trna is released. Peptide bond forms with each movement of ribosome. When the a site of the ribosome reaches a stop codon a protein called release factor binds. Release factor causes the peptide to be cut from the trna in the p site and released. Release factor then causes the ribosomal subunits to separate and the mrna is released. Ribosome binds to mrna at the 5" cap. Translation stops when the ribosome reaches a stop codon. One - aug - is always the start codon. Three - uaa, uag, uga - are stop codons. Evolution has selected for open reading frames of thousands of codons with no. In a random sequence there is a 3/64 chance that a codon is a stop codon stop codons. Each mrna has 3 potential readings that start with the first, second, or third nucleotide.
