Eukaryotic translation animation

**Original** - The elongation and membrane targeting stages of eukaryotic translation. The ribosome is green and yellow, the tRNAs are dark blue, and the other proteins involved are light blue.

This animation looks great and allows what is a horribly complicated process to be understood. I'd like to see whether people think it has a chance of passing as a featured picture before nominating it.

Interesting (though I'm not entirely sure of what I'm looking at, something involving a cell process pattern?), but it doesn't look like it's complete. --I'ḏ ♥One 20:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's the process of mRNA being used as a template to produce a protein. I guess it needs a longer caption saying that the first black string is mRNA and the one that is produced slowly is the protein. It is complete in that it is only showing the initiation and membrane binding steps (this is what allows proteins to end up in the right compartment of a cell) I think if it were any longer the file would be way too large.

Seems insanely fast to me, but at over a minute already, slowing it down might make the whole animation too long. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:33, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
