  • Ribosome
    RNA-protein complex that translates mRNA into protein, with RNA catalyzing reactions and proteins providing structural support.
  • Large Subunit
    Component that joins with the small subunit during translation, housing the peptidyl transferase center for peptide bond formation.
  • Small Subunit
    Component that binds mRNA and helps position tRNA for decoding, assembling with the large subunit during translation.
  • Nucleolus
    Nuclear compartment where ribosomal components are assembled before being exported to the cytoplasm.
  • A Site
    Region where charged tRNA pairs its anticodon with the mRNA codon, initiating translation.
  • P Site
    Region where the amino acid from tRNA is added to the growing peptide chain during translation.
  • E Site
    Region where uncharged tRNA is released from the ribosome after donating its amino acid.
  • Decoding Center
    Region ensuring correct pairing between tRNA anticodon and mRNA codon at the A site.
  • Peptidyl Transferase Center
    Region catalyzing peptide bond formation between the new amino acid and the growing polypeptide chain.
  • mRNA
    Molecule carrying genetic instructions from DNA, serving as the template for protein synthesis in the ribosome.
  • tRNA
    Adaptor molecule with an anticodon that brings specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
  • Anticodon
    Three-nucleotide sequence on tRNA that pairs with the complementary codon on mRNA.
  • Codon
    Three-nucleotide sequence on mRNA specifying which amino acid will be added during translation.
  • Peptide Chain
    Growing sequence of amino acids formed during translation, ultimately folding into a functional protein.
