Chapter 27, Problem 14E

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind prokaryotic ribosomes can translate a circular mRNA molecule where, eukaryotic ribosomes normally cannot translate even in the presence of the required cofactors.

Concept introduction: The complex molecules, which are made up of ribosomal RNA molecules, where the protein synthesis take place are called ribosomes. Translation is the process of the production of protein molecules from mRNA sequence. A translation process takes place in the ribosomes to produce the biologically useful proteins.
