Document Summary

Be able to relate the functions of the ribosome, rrna, trna, mrna, and newly synthesized protein during the process of translation. Ribosome catalyzes peptide bond formation. trna links information in mrna codons with specific amino acids in protein. trna synthases attach amino acids to trnas through its cooh end and has a free. N-terminus which explains why proteins are synthesized from the n to c terminus. They act as adapters to bring amino acids to the ribosome by pairing codons from the mrna to the complementary anticodon of the trna. Explain how the appropriate amino acid is covalently attached to trna. trna are not identical and each has a unique anticodon and each carries a specific amino acid that is covalently attached to the 5"-3" end of the trna. Prokaryote and eukaryotic cells have different type of ribosomes which serves as the basis of killing bacteria by most antibiotics.

B) Second aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the ribosomal A site.

C) Formation of peptide bond between amino acids.

D) Movement of ribosome along the mRNA to allow binding of a new EF-Tu–tRNA in A site.
