In this article we will discuss about the introduction and mechanisms of translation in prokaryotes. Introduction to Translation in Prokaryotes: The process by which proteins are produced with amino acid sequences specified by the sequence of codons in messenger RNA is called translation. Translation is the first stage of protein biosynthesis. The main points about translation in prokaryotes are given [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between protein synthesis in prokaryotes and protein synthesis in eukaryotes. Protein Synthesis in Prokaryotes: 1. Synthesis of three types RNA is controlled by a single RNA polymerase. 2. Involves 70S ribosomes with SOS and 505 subunits. 3. The timing of transcription and translation can overlap. 4. mRNA needs no modification before [...]
This article throws light upon the four transposable genetic elements in prokaryotes. The four transposable genetic elements in prokaryotes are: (1) Bacterial Insertion Sequences (2) Prokaryotic Transposons (3) Insertion-Sequence Elements and Transposons in Plasmids and (4) Phage mu. (1) Bacterial Insertion Sequences: Insertion Sequences or Insertion-Sequence (IS) Elements: Insertion sequences, or insertion-sequence (IS) elements, are now known to be segments [...]
