The document describes the process of protein synthesis through translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) in three steps: 1) A ribosome attaches to an mRNA molecule and brings an amino acid that binds to the first codon on the mRNA. 2) A transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule arrives with a matching anticodon that binds to the codon, and another tRNA brings a second amino acid. 3) The two amino acids form a peptide bond, and the ribosome moves along the mRNA, repeating the process until a stop codon is reached and a full polypeptide is synthesized.
