The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

Since there are no tRNA molecules that can recognize these codons, the ribosome recognizes that translation is complete. The new protein is then released, and the translation complex comes apart.

Meanwhile, inhibiting UAU tRNA translation had the opposite effect, indicating that it might act as a suppressor for cancer growth. “That means that you can take a tRNA and turn its levels down, and ...
