How does the DNA make proteins?
DNA Proteins It is a two step process: 1) Transcription - is the mechanism by which the information encoded in DNA is transcribed into a complementary RNA copy. Transcription occurs in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. 2) Translation is the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide using the information encoded in the mRNA.
Transcription Review Step 1: Initiation RNA polymerase attaches to DNA in the nucleus The binding occurs at a promoter: a specialized sequence on one strand of DNA, located just upstream from the start of the gene.

Step 3: Termination When RNA polymerase reaches the termination site, copying stops RNA polymerase leaves the DNA. RNA strand is released. DNA rewinds itself into the double helix.

Transfer RNA - ___________ MEANWHILE, also out in the cytoplasm… Transfer RNA - ___________
Ribosomes are also out in the cytoplasm… Ribosomes have 2 subunits. The mRNA attaches to the small subunit and the large one joins the fun! Ribosomes are where protein synthesis occurs!

_________________ The first and second a.a. form a peptide bond via peptidyl transferase The first tRNA releases the chain and moves to the E site (not shown here) It then leaves to go get another amino acid making room for another tRNA to land…the chain grows.

TIME TO STOP When a “stop” codon (UAG,UGA,UAA) reaches the A site, there is no anticodon for it, so the ribosome falls apart releasing the new protein chain
It’s a continuous process… ________________
