"According to the data published so far, the size varies from 0.58 megabases (1 megabase (Mb) is one million base pairs (bp)) in the intracellular pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium, to more than 10 Mb in several species of cyanobacteria"

Translation Mnemonic

The key components of translation are:

Messenger RNA (goes to…)
Ribosome (reads sequence in …)
Codons (recognised by …)
Anticodons (found on …)
Transfer RNA (which carries …)
Amino acids (which join via …)
Peptide bonds (to form …)
Polypeptides

20 Amino Acids Make Most Proteins

https://www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/16/aminoacids/

The proteins that make up living organisms are huge molecules, but they’re composed of tinier building blocks, known as amino acids. There are over 500 amino acids found in nature, yet, of these, the human genetic code only directly codes for 20. Every protein in your body is made up of some linked combination of these amino acids.

interesting proteins

The fancy eye protein is called Cry4, and it's part of a class of proteins called cryptochromes - photoreceptors sensitive to blue light, helps birds migrate.
