The genetic code specifies the correspondence during protein translation between codons and amino acids.
Inhibition of protein translation is a major target for toxins and antibiotics in order to kill a cell by overriding its normal gene expression control.
The term is sometimes used to refer only to protein translation but more often it refers to a multi-step process.
