Translation involves “decoding” a messenger RNA (mRNA) and using its information to build a polypeptide, or chain of amino acids. For most purposes, a polypeptide is basically just a protein (with the technical difference being that some large proteins are made up of several polypeptide chains).
The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. Aa Aa Aa. The genes in DNA encode protein molecules,...
The major steps of translation. (1) Translation begins when a ribosome (gray) docks on a start codon (red) of an mRNA molecule in the cytoplasm. (2) Next, tRNA...
Translation takes place inside structures called ribosomes, which are made of RNA and protein. Ribosomes organize translation and catalyze the reaction that joins amino acids to make a protein chain.
Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA...
1. Making Aminoacyl-tRNAs. Translation is perhaps the most energy-intensive job a cell must do, beginning with the attachment of amino acids to their tRNAs. The basic amino-acylation reaction is the same for all amino acids.
The process of translation in biology is the decoding an mRNA message into a polypeptide product. Put another way, a message written in the chemical language of nucleotides is "translated" into the chemical language of amino acids.
