The next question is how proteins are synthesized according to the information
contained on mRNA. The mechanism by which proteins are formed on ribosome
from mRNA information has been elucidated chiefly through the E. coli, and it is on

restored when the denaturation conditions are removed)

identical in general for both prokaryotes and eukaryotes)
