Abstract

In the last chapter the structure of many of the components of protein synthesis was described in some detail. In this chapter the dynamics of synthesis are considered and the involvement and interdependence of the molecules described above will be emphasized. In addition, the control of protein synthesis will be mentioned and the possible molecular mechanisms of such control discussed.
