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)
RNA Similarities to DNA Differences from DNA
Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) -”message carrier”
Types of RNA Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) (workbench) “reading” RNA
Types of RNA Transfer RNA (tRNA) -transfers a.a. - reusable
Where does it occur? How does it work? Nucleus 1.Transcription
Cytoplasm2.Translation ribosome mRNA
