The RNA copy of the gene now serves as a template for making proteins, much in the same way DNA was a template for making RNA. This process is called "translation" because the RNA molecules are translated into proteins, composed of 20 different amino acids, such as Methionine (Met), Proline (Pro), Asparagine (Asn), Arginine (Arg) and Threonine (Thr).
