Process of Translation of Ribosome: 3 Steps

This article throws light upon the three steps of translation process of ribosome. The three steps of translational process of ribosome are: (1) Initiation (2) Elongation and (3) Termination. Step # 1. Initiation: Initiation of translation in E .coli involves the small ribosome subunit, a mRNA molecule, a specific charge initiator tRNA, GTP, Mg++ and number of proteinaceous initiation factors [...]

Structure of Ribosome (With Diagram)

This article provides a note on the structure of ribosome. Ribosome is a key component in the process of translation therefore studied extensively. One bacterial cell contains ~10,000 such structures and a eukaryotic cell contains many times more. A bacterial ribosome is about 250 nm in diameter and consists of two subunits, one large and one small. Both subunits consist [...]
