This session describes translation meaning how protein is made, the difference of translation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and post-translational modifications. Through this session you should be able to:

    • describe how protein is synthesized from mRNA
    • differentiate the mechanisms of translation in eukaryotes and prokaryotes

The following are the tasks for this session:

  1. Please go through the Translation and Post-translational Modifications Lesson. 
  2. Individually perform and submit the quick exercise. 
  3. As a group, submit the problem set on transcription and translation.
