Translation and Protein Synthesis- the role of various RNA and the process of synthesis
Date Submitted: 08/25/2004 01:21:37
The process of protein synthesis is vital in organisms, and the release of different types of polypeptides from ribosomes all over the body links genotype to phenotype in the resulting organism. The individual types of RNA (ribonucleic acid) each play their own very important role in going from DNA coding to the final release of a protein chain. Translation itself is the process that makes the distinct change from the information in the nucleic acids

chains seems to be simple in process but is truly complex in actual making. Translation requires the specific interaction of the differing types of RNA and sequentially goes from the coding of m-RNA from a DNA molecule to the release of a protein chain that then has many possible functions and destinations.
