Molecular Biology: Translation


Problems

Problem : In which direction does the ribosome move along the mRNA molecule (5' to 3' or 3' to 5')?


Problem : How does the 30S subunit know where to bind on the mRNA molecule?


Problem : What is the name of the class of proteins that help with the association of the initiation complex?


Problem : During elongation, what type of bond is formed between amino acids in the A and P sites of the ribosome? Between what two elements is this new bond formed?


Problem : What are the three stop codons? Why do they signal translation termination?
