- mRNA from 5 to 3
- 1st amino acid at 5' cap is read first
- protein synthesis antibiotics target ribosomes only found in prokaryotes
- not normal bases found in RNA. Very unusual shape
- base pairs with itself within the molecule
- genetic code: codon on mRNA, coding strand
- tRNA: anticodon, complementary to genetic code
- thymidine normally not found in RNA. Also normally no OH
- 2 phosphate lost from ATP. AA combined with AMP
- AMP split off, amino acid added
- formation of aminoacyl group via aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase
- hydrolyze and cleave aa off from AMP/tRNA and not added to chain
- each site is a codon on mRNA strand
- methionine in eu. fMet in bacteria
- tRNA for met or fMet binds directly to P site
- met removed later
- catalyzed by the ribosome itself
- peptidyl transferase: made of RNA not proteins
- no tRNA with anticodons to these codons
- OH group at end of molecule
- N-: sugar to nitrogen, etc.
