translation

Translation is the third stage of protein biosynthesis (part of the overall process of gene expression).

In translation, mRNA produced by transcription is decoded by the ribosome to produce a specific

In many instances, the entire ribosome/mRNA complex causing it to bind to the outer membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and release the nascent protein polypeptide inside for later vesicle transport and secretion outside of the cell. Many types of transcribed RNA, such as transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and small nuclear RNA, do not undergo translation into proteins.

Translation proceeds in three phases: initiation, elongation and termination. Amino acids are brought to ribosomes and assembled into proteins.
