Let us make an in-depth study of the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis. Ribosomes provide framework on which protein synthesis takes place. The mRNA binds to the 30S subunit of ribosome to form initiation complex. The main role of ribosome is its ability to catalyse the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, so that the amino acids are [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the protein synthesis. After reading this article you will learn about: 1. Protein Synthesis 2. Components of Protein Synthesis 3. Mechanisms of Protein Synthesis and 4. Initiation of Protein Synthesis. Protein Synthesis: Proteins are giant molecules formed by polypeptide chains of hundreds to thousands of amino acids. These polypeptide chains are formed by [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the protein synthesis in eukaryotes. The basic mechanism of protein synthesis in eukaryotes is similar to prokaryotes, but there are a number of differences occurring in individual steps. The mechanism offers greater complexity due to the involvement of some components that do not exist in prokaryotes. Eukaryotic Ribosomes: The eukaryotic ribosome has a [...]
