This is the first of two videos on translation. In this video, we introduce the basic elements of translation that you need to know for the USMLE Step 1. Specifically, we will go over tRNA structure and function, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, ribosome structure and function, codons, including stop and start codons, and translation factors/proteins. In the next video, translation II, we go over the individual steps of translation as well as common protein modifications that you need to know for the USMLE Step 1.
