Elongation of Translation (mRNA to Protein)

#protein #translation #biology

Ever wondered how your cells build incredible protein machines? This animated video dives into the fascinating process of protein elongation, where amino acids are linked one by one like colorful beads.

Imagine a tiny factory bustling with activity:

Ribosome: The assembly line, reading instructions from mRNA.
tRNA: Delivery trucks, bringing specific amino acids.
Amino acids: The building blocks, connecting to form proteins.
Peptide bond: The glue, joining amino acids together.
Join us as we explore:

How tRNAs find their matching codons on the mRNA blueprint.
The magical role of peptidyl transferase, a ribozyme enzyme.
The intricate steps of translocation, moving the ribosome along.
How elongation repeats hundreds of times until a complete protein is born.
This video is perfect for:

Biology students learning about protein synthesis.
Anyone curious about the inner workings of cells.
Those interested in understanding protein function and diseases.
