Translation Translation: From mRNA to Protein • Translation is the process of changing the information from an order of nitrogen bases in mRNA into the order of amino acids. • This takes place at the ribosomes in the cytoplasm Translation 1. When mRNA enters the cytoplasm, ribosomes attach – For proteins to be made 20 different amino acids must be brought to the ribosomes. tRNA 2. tRNA brings the amino acids to the mRNA strand – tRNA functions as a delivery service. – It’s only function is to find it’s match and deliver the amino acid there. Translation 3. Another tRNA bonds to codon, AA’s bond together – This continues until a stop codon is reached. – Amino acid chains then become proteins tRNA Structure • tRNA is made of 2 parts: – Anticodon (driver) – Amino acid (delivery) • Called anticodons because they bond to the codon in mRNA
