Winds and wind systems on the Earth. 1  Wind is formed by the flow of air in horizontal directions. In meteorological definitions the coming direction of the wind is called wind direction. 2  1 m/s = 3.60 km/hr = 2.24 mph = 1.94 knot.
The production of proteins involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression. The process of transcription only involves two molecules: DNA and RNA. A DNA strand provides a template for the synthesis of a complementary RNA strand. This process is used to synthesize any type of RNA from a DNA template. Transcription of a gene produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule.
It's typically on the time scale of minutes. Transcription and translation both occur on the time scale of 1 minute for a protein of typical length. However, longer transcripts and bigger proteins take proportionally longer to make. The largest protein in the human body is titin. It would take approximately an hour to translate its ~30,000 amino acids. Protein folding is fast, since it's an intramolecular process.
