1) am i right to say ribosomes are the sites where tRNA and mRNA meet to produce proteins? by the way, is it proteins or amino acids?
2) if i want to form 5 amino acids, does it mean i need 5 tRNAs? do i need to count in the stop codon or release factor? but since stop codon is mRNA, and release factor is not tRNA, does it mean 5 amino acids means i need 5 tRNAs?
3) if i synthesize 5 amino acids, does it mean i get 5 water molecules? since peptide bonds are formed by losing 1 water molecule. so 5 amino acids means 5 water molecules? do i need to take into account anything else?
thank you very much!
