The protein-coding region(s) of each mRNA is composed of a contiguous, non-overlapping string of codons called an open reading frame (commonly known as an ORF).

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Translation starts at the 5’end of the ORF and proceeds one codon at a time to the 3’end. The first and last codons of an ORF are known as the start and stop codons.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

mRNAs containing multiple ORFs are known as polycistronic mRNAs, and those encoding a single ORF are known as monocistronic mRNAs.

Prokaryotic mRNAs Have a Ribosome-Binding Site That Recruits the translational Machinery For translation to occur, the ribosome must be recruited to the mRNA.
