Protein synthesis is also called translation. This refers to the process by which cells create proteins based on the genetic information carried in messenger RNA (mRNA).
During translation, ribosomes read the sequence of mRNA and assemble the corresponding amino acids in the correct order to form a protein. This process is essential for the growth, repair, and maintenance of cells and tissues in living organisms. Overall, protein synthesis encompasses both transcription, where DNA is transcribed to mRNA, and translation, where mRNA is translated into a protein.
