The purpose of protein synthesis is simply to create a polypeptide -- a protein made out of a chain of amino acids. In a hair follicle cell, a protein called keratin is made. Lots of it.

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription ... After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form ...

Mitochondrial genome contributes polypeptide subunits to the five enzyme ... system within the inner mitochondrial membrane, the site of ATP synthesis. The reoxidation of reducing equivalents ...

suggesting that the growing polypeptide chain displaces Reh1 during first round of translation. Folding of abundant, complex proteins can begin during their synthesis. Here, Sabbarini et al.
