Protein synthesis. Computer artwork representing a ribosome (round) reading the nucleotide bases on a strand of mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid, yellow) to allow it to join together a specific sequence of amino acids into an amino acid chain. This process is called translation. The chain of amino acids will then fold in a specific way to form a protein.
