Proteins are involved in essentially all sub-cellular, cellular, and developmental functions in living organisms. Proteins are composed of covalently linked chains of amino acids, which are synthesized during translation according to sequence of 3-ribonucleotide codons in mRNA molecules.
Protein structure is formed at multiple levels.
The structures are weaker at higher levels of organization, due to weaker or fewer interactions. Translation Translation is the genetic process that converts the information present in the genome into proteins, which are active molecules. The ribosomes read the 3-bp codons in mRNAs and synthesize polypeptides corresponding to the sequence of codons. The Genetic Code Code utilized during translation to direct the addition of amino acids, according to 3-base codons in mRNA sequences. This is essentially a universal code utilized in the translation of genes from the nuclear genomes of all living organisms.
