Translation occurs at a site called the ribosome, which allows the information within the mRNA to be converted into a polypeptide chain.

Chemosynthesis of polypeptide and protein is that many amino acids are linked by peptide links to form a polypeptide chain under the given conditions.

The joining of the amino acids into a chain results in the formation of a polypeptide chain which then folds into the compact, globular three-dimensional structure that is a functional protein.
