Today we covered the remaining of chapter 7, mainly focusing on the process of translation.
We discussed the importance of the remaining cytoplasmic components (ribosomes and tRNA), and then we described the actual process of translation, breaking it down in its stages (initiation, elongation, and termination).
We commented on the structure of polypeptides and the events they undergo after translation (folding and different possible types of modification).
Tomorrow
- Lab 6: Gene mapping in Drosophila (computer lab)
- Lab quiz 1 (bring a calculator)
