The lectin contents in some parts of plants are higher, e.g., 390 and 75 mg of the purified lectin was recovered from 100 g Remusatia vivipara tubers (Bhat et al. 2010) and Astragalus mongholicus roots (Yan et al. 2005), respectively. Lectins are also found in seeds.
The sequence of bases on the RNA forms a code for the amino acid building blocks of the protein. The word translation seems particularly appropriate for this process since the information contained in the DNA is translated from the four-character alphabet of the bases to the twenty-character alphabet of the amino acids. The construction of the proteins is carried out on the ribosomes of the host cell.
1 Requirement: A supply of information in a form that the ribosome can translate with a high degree of accuracy. The translation must be accurate in order that the correct proteins are produced.  Provision: Information is supplied by the nucleus and delivered to the ribosome in the form of a strand of mRNA.
