Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, performing a vast array of functions that are essential for life. From building and maintaining cellular structures to catalyzing biochemical reactions, proteins are indispensable for the proper functioning of all living organisms. The process of protein synthesis, also known as translation, is the intricate molecular mechanism by which…
