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.
Types of Nuclear Fuel. The different nuclear processes will use different types of fuel. In general terms: 1  Fission reactions will use fissile heavy elements.2  Fusion will use fusible light elements.he most often used fuels are Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239; they become instable when bombarded by slow (also known as âthermalâ) neutrons. They are not easy to find or produce materials, and the process to generate them is usually the most expensive part in the creation of a nuclear bomb.
