The Process of Protein Synthesis

Your cells are basically microscopic 3D printers working non-stop to build you. It’s called translation,

and it turns genetic code into actual physical stuff. It starts when an mRNA blueprint slides

into a ribosome. The machine scans for a start signal, usually AUG, and calls in little

delivery trucks called tRNA. Each truck drops off a specific amino acid building block

that matches the code. They link up one by one, forming a chain,

until the ribosome hits a stop sign. The machine breaks apart, and that chain instantly

folds into a perfect 3D shape, becoming the proteins that make up your entire existence.
