In this video we have discussed the initiation part of dna replication in prokaryotes where the enzymes and proteins attach to the dar sequence and initiate the process of unwinding. Prokaryotic translation requires no helicase, presumably because protein synthesis in bacteria can start even as the mrna is still being synthesized whereas in eukaryotes, transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm are separate events which allows time for mrna secondary structure to form. Initiation sites in polycistronic prokaryotic mrnas are usually selected via base pairing with ribosomal rna. Translation is the process of converting the information stored in mrna into.
