Initiation of Protein Synthesis

For the initiation of protein synthesis,• an mRNA attaches to a ribosome• the start codon (AUG) in mRNA forms hydrogen bonds to

methionine on tRNA• the second codon attaches to a tRNA with the next

amino acid • a peptide bond forms between the adjacent amino acids at the first

and second codons

During chain elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNAfrom codon to codon, attaching new amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.

Initiation of Protein Synthesis

An activated tRNA with anticodon AGU bonds to serine at the acceptor stem.

Translocation

Once the peptide bond is formed, the initial tRNA detaches from the ribosome, which shifts to the next available codon, a processcalled translocation.During translocation,

• the first tRNA detaches from the ribosome

• the ribosome shifts to the adjacent codon on the mRNA

• a new tRNA/amino acid attaches to the open binding site

• a peptide bond forms and that tRNA detaches

• the ribosome shifts down the mRNA to read the next codon

Termination

In the termination step,

• all the amino acids are linked

• the ribosome reaches a “stop” codon: UGA, UAA, or UAG

• there is no tRNA with an anticodon for the “stop” codons

• the polypeptide detaches from the ribosome

Termination

Once the polypeptide is released, • the R groups of the amino acids in the new polypeptide can

form hydrogen bonds to give the secondary structures of α helices, β-pleated sheets, or triple helices

• chains form cross-links such as salt bridges and disulfide bonds to produce tertiary and quaternary structures, which makes it a biologically active protein
