Tranlation of RNA to protein
... The cellular factory responsible for synthesizing proteins is the ribosome. The ribosome consists of structural RNA and about 80 different proteins. In its inactive state, it exists as two subunits; ... Charging the tRNA As discussed previously, the adaptor molecule that acts as a translator between mRNA and protein is a specific RNA molecule, tRNA (transfer RNA). Each tRNA has a specific anticodon and ...
