Translation

Translation is the process by which RNA is turned into protein. RNA molecules leave the nucleus and encounter translation machinery. Different translation initiation factors are present in different organisms. After translation is initiated with the help of translation initiation factors, ribosomes use a three letter code, consisting of codons, in the RNA to create proteins.
