The process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Building blocks of proteins.
A sequence of three nucleotides that codes for an amino acid.
The 5' cap of eukaryotic mRNA is crucial for recognition.
Amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Transfers specific amino acids to the ribosome.
It signals the beginning of translation.
It holds the incoming aminoacyl-tRNA.
Promotes termination of translation at stop codons.
A complex of multiple ribosomes translating the same mRNA.
They can transcribe and translate simultaneously.
Changes to a protein after it has been synthesized.
An inactive precursor of an enzyme.
It stabilizes mRNA and aids in translation initiation.
The third base can vary while still coding for the same amino acid.
From the amino (N-terminus) to the carboxylic acid (C-terminus).
Provides energy for various steps in the translation process.
Translation terminates and the ribosome disassembles.
The region of mRNA before the start codon.
Catalyzes peptide bond formation between amino acids.
