dna translation Flashcards
what are ribosomes made up up
they are enzymes made up of proteins and rRNA
what are the five main structural components of ribosomes
large subunit, small subunit, Exit site, Peptidyl site, Aminoacyl site
tRNA
transfer RNA
adaptors who read the code
charge tRNA have their amino acids attached
why is base pairing important in translation
condon/ anticodon pairing of charged tRNA and mRNA
what establishes the reading frame
Ribosomes. Looking for start codon
what happens in eukaryotes when that start codon is found
the large ribosomal subunit binds
why is base pairing important in translation
codon/ anticodon pairing of charged tRNA and mRNA
what order does the sites encounter tRNa
A-P-E
when there is a stop codon what happens
a release facots binds to the ribosome
ribosome detaches everything
