How do genes direct the production of proteins? Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.
ENERGY FUELS Uranium Mining. Energy Fuels is America's premier integrated uranium miner. Uranium is the fuel for nuclear, which is the true green energy as it provides emission-free and carbon-free electricity.
Nuclear energy may get mentioned in the same breath with renewable power sources like wind and solar because it is clean-burning and therefore more environmentally sound than oil or coal. But nuclear energy is, in fact, a nonrenewable resource. The problem lies in the element that enables nuclear power: uranium. The element uranium is abundant, but only a certain type of uranium, U-235, is used to fuel nuclear power. U-235 must be extracted from mined and processed uranium.
