TRANSLATION RAP FO SHIZZ!

Thanks to RHMediadesk for his sick beats! This wouldn't have been possible without such a hot track. So here are some white girls (LBow, M-Squared, and Righteous MH Pain) rapping about biology. Translation station about to begin With these three steps your body will win The point of translation is to make some protein Use adenine, guanine, thymine, and uracil! In the cytoplasm is where it be Look a little closer and you will see That tRNA has the anticodon bit And mRNA has the codon [THATS LEGIT!] Three different steps make up this thang Its sure to go off with a bang Initiation, elongation and still theres more Termination wraps up this fantastic score Initiation begins with start codon AUG The direction is from five prime to three Small ribosomal unit comes out to play It moves down the strand of the mRNA The first tRNA is up to bat With anticodon UAC, man thats phat Hydrogen bonding connect the two Translation initiation complex foo Thanks to a subunit of the large ribosome Initiation factors bring it on home Thats the first step, wasnt it great? Onto elongation I cant wait! Of amino acids there are plenty As a matter of fact I count twenty on five prime of tRNA they wait till its bound at the site of A Elongation factors bring it together Hydrogen bonding, can it last forever? Now amino acids must get their bond Of this coming step, Ive grown quite fond If P and A are full, polypeptide bonds can form Ribosomes catalyse and make this the norm The old tRNA is basically deceased It moves to the E site where its released Now for termination, three out of three UAA, UGA, and UAG These are the stop codons, they wont bite The release factor fills the empty A site Release factors catalyse the hydrolysis Yo, polypeptide chain listen to this! You are released into the cytoplasm The lysis of the bonds creates this chasm The polypeptide chains now floating free With multiple chains, a protein it will be The ribosome knows its time is done The unit splits into two from one Wasnt this fun? Thanks for coming out This process is just like a round-a-bout If you liked it a lot, just hold the phone Cause its happening now, in every cell and bone WORD.
