In prokaryotes and mitochondria of eurkaryotes, the initiator tRNA carries a methionine that has been N-formylated IF-2 in  Escherichia coli In eukaryotes, the initiator tRNA carries methionine, but it is NOT N-formylated Several eIFs are involved in humans The initiator tRNA enters the ribosome at the P site. All other tRNAs enter at the A site.

Scene 23

The protein is synthesized in the amino-terminal (NH 2 -) to the carboxyl-terminal (COOH) direction. The mRNA serves as a template and is read in the 5’ to 3’ direction.

The initiator tRNA aligns with the start codon at the P site of the ribosome.

Elongation factors direct the correct tRNA into the A site.

Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the formation of the peptide bond, moving the peptide chain from the P site to the A site.

The ribosome moves 3 bases in the 3’ direction on the mRNA, placing the peptidyl-tRNA in the P site, and the uncharged tRNA in the E site.

These steps repeat until a termination codon is reached.
