Abstract

In the course of cell maturation the basic biochemical processes consist of the synthesis of various proteins (nucleoproteins, enzyme proteins, and structural proteins). The basic information for the synthesis of specific proteins is stored in the DNA, and the mRNA conveys the message of the code to the ribosomes. The latter adhere to the long chain of the mRNA and scan the information to select in a given order the amino acids that are required for the synthesis of polypeptide chains.
