Protein synthesis refers to the process by which ... eukaryotic mRNA often undergoes post-transcriptional modifications, such as splicing, capping, and polyadenylation, before it is exported ...

If pseudo splice sites are used instead of the correct splice sites during protein synthesis, the resulting mRNA will contain the wrong instructions – cryptic splicing – that could alter ...

Specifically, the sections of DNA that encode protein production ... are known as introns. During splicing, which occurs after transcription (i.e., the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template ...

For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA component catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds during protein synthesis. Other ribozymes include self-splicing introns and the RNA ...
