Codons - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Gene Translation: From RNA to Protein

Gene translation from RNA to protein involves the specific binding of transfer RNA molecules to messenger RNA codons, enabling the translation of nucleotide sequences into amino acids. Each amino acid is attached to a specific tRNA through activating enzymes, and the anticodon on tRNA pairs with the
