  • @rebelScience
    @rebelScience 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Guys, I am still puzzled with one question: So we have Chromosomes -> DNA in a nucleus of the cell. Then, we have Translation phase where we get Proteins, but where do Proteins live? Do they live inside the cell (cytoplasm) ? So each cell creates it's own Proteins or each cell creates different proteins and they leave the cell and work 'outside' the cell? And in this case, what is 'outside' the cell? Any material/video, explaining this are more then welcome!

    During and after translation, polypeptides may need to be modified before they are biologically active. Post-translational modifications include:
    removal of translated signal sequences-short tails of amino acids that aid in directing a protein to a specific cellular compartment
    proper “folding” of the polypeptide and association of multiple polypeptide subunits, often facilitated by chaperone proteins, into a distinct three-dimensional structure
    proteolytic processing of an inactive polypeptide to release an active protein component, and
    various chemical modifications (e.g., phosphorylation, methylation, or glycosylation) of individual amino acids.

  • @kumbiraideon5505
    @kumbiraideon5505 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    This is wonderful. Thank you for a simplified version of translation. Sometimes i prefer watching these summarized videos than reading a book..But i got a question in relation to the 'E, P, A' sites how is it possible that we have an Exit on the 5' yet the mRNA is run thru the ribosome from 5' 3' direction ..Can you assist on that maybe i missed it

    • @AdaTrimaj
      @AdaTrimaj 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think it is a mistake, the 5-3 direction should be opposite in that video to make sense. Evrything else seems to be okay.

    • @thepsychhike7177
      @thepsychhike7177 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      its not a mistake. the E site is on 5' bc the ribosome is moving towards 3' but the codons are still at the same place. so the tRNA which is initially on p site shifts to the E site not bc it is moving towards 5' end but bc the ribosome is moving towards 3' end and the tRNA is still in its position.
