Ribosomes

The Chronicles of maRNiA

me: But yeah... ok... So mRNA is produced in the ol' Nucleus.

Then it gets sent out into the protoplasm.

Juliet: through the nuclear pores

me: Then she gets hounded by tRNAs bringin' the amino acids.

Juliet: into the ER

me: They all be like, "hey hey, that's my spot, bitch"

Juliet: and they glomp onto her

me: Yeah, and then the amino acids are in close enough proximity to form the appropriate bonds.

and then the RNA gets blasted by that tron you said earlier.

Juliet: and really they just take advantage of the situation

me: But doesn't the tRNA get "read" by the ribosomes?

Juliet: mRNA gets read, tRNA brings the aminos

me: Right, that's right.

I am messing up.

Anyway... So isn't it more like a dating service?

Juliet: SPEED DATING!!!!

lol

its sad cuz its true...

me: Yeah, so the ribosome is like, "Hello sir. I think that alinine will do the trick for you."

so then that biatch tRNA brings the alinine down.

Juliet: no no no.

it's like mRNA wants a bunch of meaningless hookups

me: lol!

Juliet: so it goes to the ribosome's speed dating service

me: mRNA is a WHORE!

Juliet: and it hooks up with all these tRNA's

me: An orgiastic, protein synthesizing convention!

Juliet: UNFORTUNATELY everytime the tRNA leaves it gives mRNA an STD in the form of aqn amino acid

but then there are no more tRNA's and mRNA is single for a second and enjoys it so it makes a life decsion to be single for a while

to make up for being a whore ya know?

and so it leaves the speed dating service, which then falls apart because it was the ONLY client

and the lack of hook ups lets the STD's leave it and TADA you have a protein!

wow....

so silly lol!

me: lol.

You should copy all of this into your blog.

Readership will go up many... fold.

lol

Juliet: lol

Alas, Juliet (AKA Ms. Fooshy Pants) did not capitulate with my request. So she made a counter-offer of something along the lines of, "Put it on your blog."

So I did. Peer-pressure is a foul beast.
