Lecture, chapter 9 - From genes to proteins

Today we discussed what cytoplasmic components are crucial for the process of translation.  We described the main characteristics of ribosomes, amino acids and tRNA.

We then described the actual process of translation, dividing in its phases of initiation, elongation and termination.  We followed with a discussion of the fate of synthesized polypeptides and the features of protein structure.
