Document Summary

Binds to the promoter: mrna: (messenger rna) synthesized by rna polymerase, which then carries the info from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Composed of 2 subunits with 2 active sites: trna: (transfer rna) delivers amino acids to the ribosome, where they are incorporated into a protein. Bind to the active sites on the ribosome. The start trna (now empty) leaves, the second trna moves over into the rst active site, & a third trna binds to the ribosome, taking on the growing chain of amino acids.
