Key Equations

$$\text{NTP} \rightarrow \text{NMP}_{\text{(RNA)}} + \text{PP}_i, \quad \Delta G^{\circ'} \approx -33.5 \text{ kJ/mol (with PP}_i \text{ hydrolysis)}$$
$$4^3 = 64 \text{ codons for 20 amino acids + stop signals}$$
$$\text{Amino acid} + \text{tRNA} + \text{ATP} \rightarrow \text{Aminoacyl-tRNA} + \text{AMP} + \text{PP}_i$$
$$\underbrace{2 \text{ ATP}}_{\text{aminoacyl-tRNA charging}} + \underbrace{1 \text{ GTP}}_{\text{EF-Tu delivery}} + \underbrace{1 \text{ GTP}}_{\text{EF-G translocation}} = 4 \text{ high-energy phosphate bonds per residue}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
