Document Summary

Simple in principle, complex in biochemistry and mechanics. Site of protein synthesis, acts like a vise holding mrna and trna together. P site (peptide site) holds the growing polypeptide chain. The molecule that delivers the amino acids to the ribosome. In reality, there are multiple ribosomes acting on the mrna. Protein synthesis: a very close look. (electron micrographs) # 1-4, 6, 7, 10: a) p site: site in the ribosome where peptide bonds are formed between adjoining amino acids on a growing polypeptide chain. A site: site in the ribosome where trna brings in an amino acid: codon: a codon is a sequence of three bases on mrna that serves as a code for a particular amino acid. Anticodon: a group of three complementary bases on trna that recognizes and pairs with a codon on the mrna: start codon: specific codon (aug) that signals to the ribosome that the translation commences at that point.
