Protein Synthesis

-Protein Synthesis is the production of protein in a cell
-The Nucleus and Ribosomes are the two organelles included in this process

Steps

-First the DNA unzips and mRNA is created using the unzipped part of the DNA *In RNA A pairs with U* *This is called Transcription*

-Then the mRNA travels to the Ribosome

-Next rRNA reads the mRNA into codons *Codons are nucleotides grouped into 3*

-The codons are then turned into amino acids *Use an amino acid chart to figure out what codons produce what amino acid*

-Then tRNA take the amino acids into the ribosomes *This is called Translation*

-The ribosome then takes the amino acid and makes the proteins the amino acids code for

Amino Acid Chart

Lets Try It!

-Lets uses the strand of TACCGTGATCAGACT

-mRNA- AUGGCACUAGUCUGA

-Codons - AUG GCA CUA GUC UGA

-Amino Acids- Meth, Ala, Leu, Val, "Stop"

Hints!

mRNA- Messanger   

rRNA- Reader

tRNA- Transfer

Transcription- Writing RNA (script-write)

Translation- Moving amino acids (translating them)
*mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA are in alphabetic order, so are Transcription and Translation*
