Translation

1. Overview of translation
   1. Various fates of RNA
      1. mRNA is translated, associating with the ribosome during translation initiation
      2. tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome
      3. sythesis of peptide bods on ribosome (elongation) catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, one of the processes that involve rRNA
   2. Overview of initiation, elongation, termination
      1. Shine-Dalgarno sequence, Kozak sequence, and start codons
      2. open reading frames
      3. release factors
         
2. The Genetic Code as a translation dictionary
   
   1. Nirenberg experiment
   2. charged tRNA
   3. aminoacyl tRNA synthetases
3. Wobble
4. Polysomes
5. Polycistronic mRNA
