Translation Flashcards
1
Q
Elongation process
A
- Incoming aminoacyl tRNA
- Peptide-bond formation
- Translocation
2
Q
Post-translation modification
A
Protein go through an extensive series of processing steps before they are ready to work
- molecular chaperones speed folding of the protein
- folding determines a proteins shape and therefore function
3
Q
Terminating translation process
A
- release factor binds to stop codon
- Polypeptide and uncharged tRNAs are released
- Ribosome subunits seperate
