1.4.10. Translation
Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize protein s using the mature mRNA transcript produced during transcription . There is a specific tRNA for each of the 20 different amino acids . A tRNA molecule transports an amino acid to the ribosome. The 3-letter anti codon on the tRNA molecule matches the 3-letter code (called a codon ) in the mRNA. The tRNA with the anticodon "UAC" bonds with methionine. It always transports methionine. Transfer RNA molecules with different anticodons transport other amino acids.
