Processing of tRNAs and rRNAs

rRNA and tRNA are structural molecules that aid in protein synthesis but are not themselves translated into protein.

Thumbnail
The Protein Synthesis Machinery

Protein synthesis, or translation of mRNA into protein, occurs with the help of ribosomes, tRNAs, and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases.

Prokaryotic Transcription and Translation Are Coupled

Prokaryotic transcription occurs in the cytoplasm alongside translation and can occur simultaneously.

The Incorporation of Nonstandard Amino Acids

Aside from the 22 standard amino acids, there are many other amino acids that are called non-proteinogenic or non-standard.
