Translation

The process of converting the genetic infor- mation of an mRNA on ribosomes into a polypeptide. Transfer RNA molecules carry the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome, where they are joined by peptide bonds.

The process of polypeptide synthesis in which the amino acid sequence is determined by mRNA, mediated by tRNA molecules, and carried out on ribosomes.

The process in which the genetic code carried by mRNA directs the synthesis of proteins from amino acids. See also: transcription

The process of forming a protein molecule at a ribosomal site of protein synthesis from information contained in messenger RNA.
