Thank you so much for responding! I see animations depicting chains of mRNA 'swimming' around... I get the chemical reaction energy, but still not grasping the source of locomotion within the cytoplasm.

Oh yeah, bringing all the bits together is more of a Brownian motion thing I believe, with the caveat that cytoplasms are actually pretty damn crowded. Perhaps a biophysics person can chime in! Your question got picked up on the #RNAbiology feed which is how I saw it! 🙂
