cotranslasjonell
Cotranslational is a term used in molecular biology to describe a process that occurs simultaneously with translation, which is the synthesis of protein from messenger RNA (mRNA). Specifically, cotranslational processes involve events that happen as the ribosome is reading the mRNA and assembling the amino acid chain.
One of the most well-known cotranslational processes is protein folding. As a polypeptide chain emerges from
Another cotranslational event is protein translocation. For proteins destined for secretion, insertion into membranes, or delivery
Similarly, cotranslational modification, such as glycosylation (the addition of sugar molecules) or disulfide bond formation, can
