Indexing Annotation

do not confuse the ribosome translocation step of PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS with TRANSLOCATION, GENETIC a chromosome aberration; coordinate with the specific protein/biosyn only when genetic translation is discussed; PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS and PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NUCLEIC ACID-INDEPENDENT are also available; for "protein anabolism" and "protein catabolism" use PROTEINS/metab
