Summary Introduction

To define:

The term translocation.

Introduction:

Ribosomes consist of the binding sites for $\text{tRNA}$ and $\text{mRNA}$ to decode the genetic information from $\text{mRNA}$ strand into proteins through translation. There are three steps in translation process which are initiation, elongation and termination. The initiation of translation process starts with the binding of small subunit of ribosomal RNA to m RNA and then the initiator $\text{tRNA}$ pairs with the start codon AUG. Translocation occurs during elongation step in translation process which helps in protein synthesis.
