Protein synthesis is the process of protein reproduction. There are 2 main steps in protein synthesis. The protein chain continues to grow until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA strand. When the stop codon is reached, both the protein chain and mRNA strand are released and protein synthesis is complete.
