Translation
The molecular basis of translation is the process by which the genetic information stored in RNA is converted into a functional protein. This process occurs on ribosomes, which are large complexes of proteins and RNA molecules. The process of translation is divided into three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. In the initiation stage, a…

Post translational processingÂ
Post-translational processing refers to the series of modifications that occur to a protein after it has been synthesized by the ribosome. These modifications can include folding, cleavage, phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, and methylation. Each modification is mediated by a specific enzyme and can have a significant impact on the stability, activity, and localization of the…
