Translation
In translation, a mature mRNA strand is translated in the 5'→3' direction by a ribosome to produce a polypeptide chain. Reading frames in the 3'→5' direction on the mRNA strand may be disregarded during translation. There are therefore three possible reading frames for an mRNA strand that can be used during translation, although usually only one reading frame is used. Each reading frame corresponds to a different starting nucleotide.

Famous quotes containing the word translation:
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“...it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 7:9.
King James translation reads, “It is better to marry than to burn.”
“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.”
