The step of protein synthesis missed by Stella would be the translation of mRNA into amino acids.
The process of protein synthesis can essentially be divided into 2, namely:
- Transcription
- Translation
During transcription, genetic information on DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Once this is done, the genetic codes in mRNA are then translated to their respective amino acids and linked by peptide bonds.
The polypeptide bond undergoes further processing such as folding in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Thus, before amino acids can form a polypeptide chain, they must first be translated from genetic codes in mRNA.
