Protein synthesis

The process by which cells translate units of information on DNA into functional carriers in the form of proteins. According to the central dogma of molecular biology, this process consists of two phases: During transcription, a section of genetic material is transcribed into mRNA. This tells the cell the sequence in which it should assemble individual amino acids into a protein. This happens during translation. After translation, some proteins still need to be folded or modified in other ways before they can be used as structural proteins or enzymes.
