What is Eukaryotic Translation Protein Synthesis?
Translation and protein synthesis are the same. Translation is the process by which protein is synthesized. And this occurs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes , but the mechanisms and factors involved with translation in the two cell types can differ. Protein translation requires ribosome and mRNA which is transcripted from the nucleus (has the DNA code in it) and many other protein factors. In this process mRNA binds to the ribosome and the ribosome reads the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA. 3 nucloetides make a codon and each codon has a related amino acid. These can be found from the following site http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultrane⦠Thus when readng the mRNA sequence depending on the nucleotide sequence or the codon read, tRNA will bring an amino acid. Ribosome will catalyze a bond between these amino acids assembled in the form of a peptide bond. Thus a polypeptide chain will be form
