Protein Synthesis A brief overview Purpose? Key Players? Where does it occur? How does it work? WHY?
Purpose? Synthesize – Protein Synthesis – Protein is a chain of amino acids
Key Players? DNA… (ex: ATGCCGTAATACGGG)
Four types of nucleotides: adenine (A) guanine (G) cytosine (C) thymine (T)
Similarities to DNA Differences from DNA RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA) -”message carrier” Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) -”message carrier”
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) (workbench) “reading” RNA Types of RNA Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) (workbench) “reading” RNA
Transfer RNA (tRNA) -transfers a.a. - reusable Types of RNA Transfer RNA (tRNA) -transfers a.a. - reusable
Where does it occur? How does it work? Nucleus 1.Transcription
Cytoplasm 2.Translation ribosome mRNA
