Transcription and translation can happen at the same time in bacteria, which is the main reason why protein production is faster in bacteria than in eukaryotic cells12. Bacteria always have more ribosomes than eukaryotic cells2. Methionine's shape makes it harder to add onto a polypeptide chain compared to N-Forymlmethionie's shape, which is another reason why protein production is faster in bacteria than in eukaryotic cells2.
