Wobble Only 45 different tRNA molecules exist Pairing of the anticodon with the third base of the codon is less specific
Protein Processing Ribosome type depends on ultimate destination of polypeptide FreeBound Polypeptide to be used in cytosol Polypeptide is headed to membrane or beyond via ER
Protein Processing Signal Peptide Signal Recognition Particle Receptor Protein Polypeptide fed into cisterna Rough ER Cytosol
