Genetic Translation - The process during which the genetic information is translated following the rules of genetic code into the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide is called as translation or protein synthesis or polypeptide chain synthesis. Polypeptide chain synthesis requires a large number of components. These include Over 50 polypeptides in functional ribosomes.

At least 20 amino acid activating enzymes (aminoacyl tRNA synthetases)

40 to 60 different tRNA molecules

9 soluble proteins

Energy sources like GTP, ATP

Amino acids
