The DNA Code

The DNA Code. The DNA Code. Get the message from the DNA to form proteins It is the proteins that do all of the “work” All of the proteins are made from 20 amino acids But how does that happen? In your group, take 5 minutes, come up with a hypothesis as to how the DNA makes proteins

  1. The DNA Code

  2. The DNA Code • Get the message from the DNA to form proteins • It is the proteins that do all of the “work” • All of the proteins are made from 20 amino acids • But how does that happen? • In your group, take 5 minutes, come up with a hypothesis as to how the DNA makes proteins • Hint: how do 4 bases (A, T, G, C) code for 20 amino acids?

  3. The DNA Codon • The double helix separates (exposing one strand) • The code is “read” from 5’ to 3’
