Document Summary

Structure of the prokaryotic ribosome, mechanisms of translation in prokaryotes, and translation in eukaryotes. The structure is conserved between species and bacteria, there are variable regions but there are compensating pairs that result in the overall same structure and function. Rna is the catalytic component of the subunit. > catalysis peptide bond formation but this will not happen in solution, it is all about context/environment. Have to bind to the mrna and then the trna (will bring the activated form of the amino acid to the ribosome) There are three sites where the trna interacts with the ribosome: e, p, and a site. The e and p site are where the trna interacts with the mrna. P site contains the growing polypeptide chain. A site is where the new aminoacyl trna enters the ribosome. E site is where the trna will leave the ribosome after it has released the polypeptide chain.

Facts about ribosomes

Indicate whether each of the following statements aboutribosomes is true or false.

1. Ribosomes are composed of tRNA and protein. TrueFalse
