5 Questions
What are the differences in composition of bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes and translation factors?
Bacterial ribosomes are larger and lack translation factors
During which phase does translation occur?
Elongation phase
How is correct start codon selection ensured during translation initiation?
Through base pairing between the start codon and initiator tRNA
Why is translation initiation considered the rate limiting step and a frequent target of regulation?
Because it determines the rate of protein synthesis
How do nascent proteins get directed to the endoplasmic reticulum?
Through a signal sequence recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP)
Test your knowledge about the overview of translation (protein synthesis) in eukaryotes and the function of key elements in the process.
