EOG80CKXS GO:0006412 25/87 translation biological_process "The cellular metabolic process in which a protein is formed, using the sequence of a mature mRNA molecule to specify the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Translation is mediated by the ribosome, and begins with the formation of a ternary complex between aminoacylated initiator methionine tRNA, GTP, and initiation factor 2, which subsequently associates with the small subunit of the ribosome and an mRNA. Translation ends with the release of a polypeptide chain from the ribosome." [GOC:go_curators] EOG80CKXS GO:0003735 25/87 structural constituent of ribosome molecular_function "The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the ribosome." [GOC:mah] EOG80CKXS GO:0015934 24/87 large ribosomal subunit cellular_component "The larger of the two subunits of a ribosome. Two sites on the ribosomal large subunit are involved in translation, namely the aminoacyl site (A site) and peptidyl site (P site)."
