For the section including translation, go to "the genetic code" chapter in the table of contents. This explanation includes diagrams and illustrations as well as a codon code table.

Learn how genetic code links groups of nucleotides in an mRNA to amino acids in a protein. Also learn about start codons, stop codons, and reading frame.

Go through this "tour" on protein synthesis to learn about translation (3rd page). Good graphics and the codon lookup table help in understanding the information.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Translation involves translating the language of nucleotides to the language of amino acids. During this activity, translation in protein synthesis is explored along...

This hands-on activity is an assessment of the students understanding of peptide and disulfide bonds formed during protein synthesis, and the structure of an amino acid (R-group plus the common structure that all amino acids share)....
