Dictionary » T » Translation TranslationDefinition noun A step in protein biosynthesis wherein the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. The process follows transcription in which the DNA sequence is copied (or transcribed) into an mRNA.
Translation occurs in the cytoplasm where the ribosomes are located. It consists of four phases:
Related forms: translational (adjective), translationally (adverb).

Results from our forumCycloheximide-increase in protein levels???It would suggest that some production of your protein is not translation-driven. Can another protein be enzymatically converted into the one you're looking at? Could there be a storage-release issue, with the stored version not showing up until it's coverted ...

Cycloheximide-increase in protein levels???Hi everyone, In order to find out the half life of my protein of interest, I treated my cells with cycloheximide(CHX), which is an eukaryotic translation inhibitor, through different time intervals. Then, I looked at the protein amounts by Western Blot. However, I saw that as I left them in medium ...

Amp selection with no recovery... taught this trick years ago and was told that the reason it worked had to do with the fact that amp affects cell wall biosynthesis (rather than translation) and once the cells began making ampicillinase, their cell walls could recover and cells would grow. Translational inhibitors obviously ...

The influence of area on the number of speciesYello everyone, So my biology book states (free translation) : " The surface area of an area influences the biodiversity. The number of species doubles when the area grows ten times. Or the other way; when the area reduces to 10% the number ...
