Protein Synthesis Molecular Biology
Summary: flow of genetic information DNA RNA protein Capacity to store genetic information, copy it, and pass it from generation to generation Important Terms: Transcription Translation Transcription- DNA RNA (nucleus) Translation- RNA protein (cytoplasm)
2
Protein Synthesis Transcription Initiation Elongation Termination
RNA polymerase attaches to promoter region on DNA and begins to unzip the DNA Elongation RNA polymerase moves on the DNA 3’ 5’ mRNA is elongated 5’ 3’ Termination DNA sequence AAAAAAA
3
Protein Synthesis Translation Initiation Elongation Termination
Small ribosomal subunit attaches to a special region near the 5’ end of the mRNA Start codon is read (AUG) and tRNA binds Large subunit attaches to the mRNA Elongation Termination Stop codon
4
Mutations Point Mutations Types
Changes in just one or a few base pairs in a single gene Types Substitution Deletion Insertion Frameshift mutations
