Protein Synthesis DNA codes for Proteins Proteins become enzymes, muscle filament, and walls of blood vessels
Proteins Refresher Building blocks: amino acids Their shape determines their function Proteins are polymers of amino acids *Polymers are long chains
RNA: Ribonucleic Acid It is a nucleic acid just like DNA It is single stranded, it’s sugar is Ribose, and has 4 Nitrogenous bases.
4 Nitrogenous Bases Adenine Uracil (NOT THYMINE) Guanine Cytosine
Practice Converting DNA to RNA DNA: A-T-G-T-T-A-A-A-A-G-C RNA: U-A-C-A-A-U-U-U-U-C-G RNA still follows the complementary base pairing, BUT SUBSTITUTES U FOR T
3 Types of RNA mRNA (Messenger RNA) rRNA (Ribosomal RNA) tRNA (Transfer RNA)
1. mRNA: Messenger RNA JOB: Carries a copy of DNA from the nucleus to the ribosome
2. rRNA: Ribosomal RNA JOB: Clamps onto mRNA and uses its information to make amino acids
3. tRNA: TRANSFER RNA Job: transfers amino acids to ribosome
m in mRNA is for Messenger t in tRNA is for Transfer
Ribosome
