Translation

• Where does Translation take place?

  At the Ribosome
• What happens after mRNA leaves nucleus?

  Attaches to ribosome to begin translation
• What is the Ribosome made out of?

  rRNA and Proteins
• What does each tRNA have a role of?

  Bringing a specific amino acid to the ribosome
• Where does mRNA attach to on the Ribosome?

  Small Ribosomal subunit
• How does the tRNA bind to mRNA?

  Anticodon to the Codon; forms temporary hydrogen bonds
• How does Translation end?

  When Ribosome reaches stop codon
• How many codon binding sites does a ribosome have?

  2
• How does a peptide bond between two amino acids on the tRNAs?

  With the use of an enzyme called Peptidyl Transferase
• What happens after the protein is assembled?

  • Polypeptide is folded to produce secondary structure (Alpha Helix or Beta Pleated Sheet
  • Secondary Structure is folded to produce Tertiary Structure
  • Non-protein prosthetic groups are linked together with the Tertiary Structure to make a Quaternary Structure
