The Ribsome Construction Site
a: The ribosome ~
b: construction site
What: "I usually compare protein biosynthesis to the construction of a
building. The mRNA contains information comparable to the
plan of a building while the ribosome is like the construction site.
The amino acids are the equivalents of blocks used for the
building while the tRNAs are like the workmen bringing up
these amino acids for the construction"
