Translation Mnemonic

​The key components of translation are:
  • Messenger RNA  (goes to…)
  • Ribosome  (reads sequence in …)
  • Codons  (recognised by …)
  • Anticodons  (found on …)
  • Transfer RNA  (which carries …)
  • Amino acids  (which join via …)
  • Peptide bonds  (to form …)
  • Polypeptides

​

The proteins that make up living organisms are huge molecules, but they’re composed of tinier building blocks, known as amino acids. There are over 500 amino acids found in nature, yet, of these, the human genetic code only directly codes for 20. Every protein in your body is made up of some linked combination of these amino acids.
