This chapter delves into genetic translation, covering the process, genetic code, and synthesis steps in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It explains the role of aminoacyl-tRNAs, posttranslational protein modification, and protein degradation mechanisms. Key topics include translation initiation, elongation, termination, and the stages in eukaryotic translation. Various figures and tables illustrate concepts like "Wobble" base pairing, initiation complex formation, and peptide bond formation. Additionally, examples of posttranslational protein modifications and the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway are highlighted. Dive into the molecular intricacies of translating the genetic message and protein biosynthesis in this comprehensive chapter.
