Translation is the process by which the information contained in mRNA is used to synthesize proteins. It requires tRNAs, ribosomes, mRNA, amino acids and various enzymes and factors. There are three main steps - initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation involves the binding of initiation factors, mRNA and fMet-tRNA to form the initiation complex. In elongation, amino acids are added one by one to form the polypeptide chain through the formation of peptide bonds. Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached, causing the release of the complete polypeptide chain.

The last stage of central dogma.
Cistron-a unit of DNA or RNA responsible for controlling a specific body character. Muton is mutable unit that could be up to five nucleotides long.

Translation in Prokaryotes Initiation: the important change seen in prokaryotes is in place of methionine , N-Formyl methionine is the initiator codon in prokaryotes. Initiation is important step in translation where an 30S pre-initiation complex form with the association of (mRNA, 30S ribosome, fmet-tRNA, three proteins called as initiation factors, GTP Shine Dalgarno sequence: It is an 8 to 13 nucleotide length an untranslated region of mRNA which consists of ribosome binding site occurs near to AUG codon which is also base pairs with 16srRNA Initiation 1st step: the fmet-tRNA charged with first aminoacid binds with the 30S ribosome at the P site 2nd step: fmet-tRNA-30S ribosome binds to 50S Subunit to form the complete 70S Initiation Complex. Energy for this process is provided by Hydrolysis of GTP brought to initiation complex by IF2 Protein After initiation two parts of ribosome hold mRNA in the form ribbon at both side. Four binding sites are located on the ribosome, one for mRNA and three for tRNA The three tRNA sites are labeled P, A, and E The P site, called the peptidyl site, binds to the tRNA holding the growing polypeptide chain of amino acids. The A site (acceptor site), binds to the aminoacyl tRNA, which holds the new amino acid to be added to the polypeptide chain. The E site (exit site), serves as a threshold Amino acid, any of a group of organic molecules that consist of a basic amino group (―NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (―COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid. Elongation In this stage second tRNA binds to the ribosome at the A site with the help of proteins called as elongation factors. EF-Tu protein provides proper positioning of aminoacid which also provides energy for the process by carrying a molecule of GTP. Next important step is formation of peptide bond between two amino acid takes place by replacing first aminoacid to top second aminoacid Ensuring bond between carboxyl group of first amino acid to the amino group of second aminoacid. The resulting compound is dipeptide reaction is catalysed by peptidyl transferase enzyme. The energy for this reaction is provided by dissolution amino acyl bond between its first amino acid and its tRNA. Next step in elongation is translocation which involves. (a) Ejection of discharged fmet-tRNA from P site (b) Movement of physical lifting of dipeptide from A site. (c) movement of mRNA in 5’ to 3’ direction for further processing. Termination: Elongation continues until the ribosome encounters terminator codons UAA,UGA and UAG. These terminator codon are recognized by protein release factors(RF-s),RF1 recognizes UAA and UAG while RF2 recognizes UGA where as RF3 stimulates both RF1 and RF2 Enzyme peptidyl transferase releases polypeptide from tRNA which now serve as hydrolysae enzyme and 70S ribosome dissociate in to two parts 50S and 30S and leave mRNA.
