The lectin contents in some parts of plants are higher, e.g., 390 and 75 mg of the purified lectin was recovered from 100 g Remusatia vivipara tubers (Bhat et al. 2010) and Astragalus mongholicus roots (Yan et al. 2005), respectively. Lectins are also found in seeds.
The sequence of bases on the RNA forms a code for the amino acid building blocks of the protein. The word translation seems particularly appropriate for this process since the information contained in the DNA is translated from the four-character alphabet of the bases to the twenty-character alphabet of the amino acids. The construction of the proteins is carried out on the ribosomes of the host cell.
Components In this section, you will be introduced to the components involved in the process of protein synthesis, called translation. This process requires a protein/RNA complex called the ribosome and several other components to read the mRNA and produce a new protein.n translation, the cell uses the genetic information contained in mRNA to make the proteins that carry out the cellâs work. The cell translates the code contained in the mRNA into a new language, the language of proteins, based on amino acids.
