Video insights

@bit_wonder's TikTok video "How Ribosomes Build Proteins 🎧 How does a ribosome build a protein? It reads RNA three letters at a time and adds one amino acid for every codon, about six a second in mammal cells. A ribosome clamps onto a messenger RNA at the start codon AUG. tRNAs bring amino acids, a mismatch is rejected, and the chain threads out through a tunnel, slowed down at first, then at real speed. At the stop codon the chain is let go and folds into a protein, while more ribosomes read the same RNA behind it, and the view pulls back to a cell full of them, because every protein you have is made this way. The twist: the ribosome's core, where every link in the chain is made, is RNA, not protein. Mapping its structure won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
