Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...
(1) Translation begins when a ribosome (gray) docks on a start codon (red) of an mRNA molecule in the cytoplasm. (2) Next, tRNA molecules attached to amino acids (spheres) dock at the corresponding ...
Protein biosynthesis in cells begins with translation initiation, an extraordinarily complex process in which a ribosome assembly binds to an mRNA gene transcript, recognizes its start codon, and ...
