- Translation is the process by which the information contained in mRNA is used to synthesize proteins. It requires tRNA, mRNA, ribosomes, and various translation factors.
- In prokaryotes, initiation involves 3 initiation factors, elongation 3 elongation factors, and termination 3 termination factors. In eukaryotes, initiation involves 9 initiation factors, elongation 4 elongation factors, and termination 2 termination factors.
- There are differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic translation, including the ribosome composition and size, presence or absence of gap between transcription and translation, modifications to mRNA, and initiation and termination factors.
