Events at the Ribosome
The protein synthesis reactions at the ribosome are sometimes called
translation. The "message" in the mRNA is “translated" into the sequence
of amino acids in a particular protein. Remember, when there is control over
the line up of amino acids, then an exact protein of any kind can be
synthesized.
The mRNA attaches to the ribosome and passes through it one codon at
MRNA
Ribosome
a time.
As each of the codons passes through the ribosome, the appropriate
TRNA carries in its amino acid. The 20 different tRNA molecules carry
the 20 different amino acids.
