The Cellular Site of Translation and its Role in Protein Synthesis
Words: 682 1308The spot where translation happens in a cell is crucial in biology—it's where the magic of making proteins goes down. Translation is the process where messenger RNA (mRNA) gets decoded to whip up specific proteins, the building blocks of cells. And where does all this action take place? Mostly in the ribosomes—these tiny factories can be found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or chilling on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ribosomes are like intricate machines made of ribosomal RNA […]
