Polypeptide Production
The process of synthesizing polypeptides, which are long chains of amino acids, through transcription and translation of genetic information.
Initiation
The start phase in various biological and chemical processes, such as the beginning of DNA replication or protein synthesis.
Elongation
In the context of protein synthesis, elongation is the stage during which amino acids are sequentially added to the growing polypeptide chain by the ribosome.
