Protein synthesis
vox nihili:
And also to avoid any confusion, the stop codon is not part of the polypeptide but rather of the mRNA
aaron_solomon:
can someone please explain to me the relationship between proteins and polypeptides, i know that polypeptides make up proteins but is there any more to that dot point that i should know?

Proteins are made up of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds. A polypeptide consists of two or more amino acids. Therefore a protein is developed from a series of polypeptide chains. And without polypeptides, you wouldn't have a protein. That's how they're related. :)
