Protein Synthesis, Translation Translation – the process of converting the mrna codon sequences into an amino acid polypeptide chain. 1. Initiation – A ribosome attatches to the mrna and starts to code at the fmet codon (usualy AUG, sometimes GUG or UUG). 2. Elongation – trna brings the corresponding amino acid to each codon as the ribosome moves down the mrna strand. 3. Termination – Reading of the final mrna codon (aka the STOP codon), which ends the sythesis of the peptide chain and releases it.

@batthatisbat the ribosome itself moves along the mRNA
Brilliant video!
Pretty awesome video, just read all this stuff but didn’t imagine it at all being like this. I get it now though.
Which moves, the mRNA molecule or the ribosome itself?
Very nice
what does the E site do?
I don’t journals will ever be replaced so it’s still important that you are able to learn from reading a textbook. Most textbooks have websites with good animations and stuff…
fantastic
why o why haven’t instructional videos replaced text books for bio, chem and history classes yet? We’d all be smarter if the information were presented so clearly to us
Think about this:how would you even begin to explain this to Charles Darwin?Or for that matter—-Gregor Mendel,who suspected something like genes being responsible for all heredity?
If you think this is interesting, check out this video. It’s an animation of some of the things that go inside the cell (from Harvard university), it’s really interesting! If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll love it for sure
watch?v=BVvvx5HGpLg
and this one is the same animation but explaining it in details:
watch?v=fZZ3DD_tV9k&feature=related
Enjoy and all the best
P.S. This video is really good at explaining the process!
How the heck did scientist discover this stuff. Its amazing. Like a factory making stuff.
sweet thanx
thanks, it helped me a lot!
@DaisyDenise11 agreed
lol i was thinking the same thing.
Wayyy better than any book description.
thats an amazing video, thanks for posting it!
a picture can replace a 1000 words,
a movie clip can save some nerve cells
thank you for the post!
I understand now
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh now i get it.
very good
It leaves XD. And goes to pick up another amino acid.
ummm no what about the e site.
this video is missing the E site of the ribosome… it doesn’t just exit the ribosome on its own… it moves into the E site which in turn makes it leave!
