In this article we will discuss about the introduction and mechanisms of translation in eukaryotes. Introduction to Translation in Eukaryotes: The process of protein synthesis from 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 eukaryotes are given below: 1. [...]
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 process of polymerization of amino acids to form a polypeptide is known as translation, see colored image 4.8. The sequence of bases in the mRNA defines the order and sequence of amino acids. The amino acids are joined by a bond which is known as a peptide bond. Formation of a peptide bond requires energy. Therefore, in the first [...]
