about Translation
•Each tRNA has a specific amino acid attached by a specific
amino-acyl tRNA synthetase enzyme.
•Process uses ATP & forms
activated molecule to provide energy for peptide bond
•The anticodon of the correct tRNA then pairs with the codon of the mRNA.
•This brings two tRNAs together in the ribosome and allows a
peptide bond to be formed between the two amino acids by peptidyl transferase.
•Continues until reach one of
the three stop codons (UAA, UAC, UGA).
