  2. Translation ribosome ribosome Translation takes place at the ribosome and it’s the process of the ribosomes creating proteins from smaller amino acids. How did we get to the ribosome? Let’s review. ribosome

  3. BACK Transcription Review CELL NUCEUS A process called transcription starts in the nucleus, where an enzyme called RNA polymerase splits the DNA molecule. ribosome NEXT

  4. BACK Transcription Review CELL NUCEUS A process called transcription starts in the nucleus, where an enzyme called RNA polymerase splits the DNA molecule. Next, free floating mRNA nucleotides bond to the open DNA molecule. Once finished, the mRNA breaks away and exits the nucleus. The mRNA will then join a ribosome. Now, the process of translation will begin. AUG CCA UAU GGC UAA GCA ribosome NEXT

  5. BACK Translation Process The ribosome will read 3 mRNA nucleotides at a time. The 3 mRNA nucleotides are called a codon. Each codon will match for the delivery of a specific amino acid. Remember that amino acids link together to create a single protein. ribosome Click to see the codons It took scientists many years of experimentation to learn which codon creates which amino acid.

  6. BACK The Genetic Code This table is the same for almost every organism on Earth. In the chart above, click on the “AUG” codon.

  7. BACK AUG codon Correct! Whenever an AUG codon is read by the ribosome, the amino acid called METHIONINE will be delivered to the ribosome. Notice how the chart says “start codon” below methionine? This also means that the codon AUG will activate the ribosome to start the process of making a protein. Click on the CCA codon.

  8. BACK CCA codon Correct! Whenever a CCA codon is read by the ribosome, the amino acid called PROLINE will be delivered to the ribosome. This process will continue until a “Stop codon” is read by the ribosome. This is how the ribosome knows that a protein is finished. Click on any of the STOP CODONS.

  9. BACK Transfer RNA Amino Acid serine Amino Acid proline Correct! Stop codons tell the ribosome to stop making a protein. So who…or what…is delivering these amino acids? In the cytoplasm, there are countless amino acids and other molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA). tRNA will pick up the proper amino acid and deliver it to the ribosome. Amino Acid methionine

  10. BACK Watching the Process The mRNA enters the ribosome. The ribosome will begin to read the mRNA one codon at a time. Click on the amino acid that will be 1st delivered to the ribosome? Hint: Examine the Genetic Code chart on your handout to find the 1st codon. choices Now that methionine is delivered, tRNA drops off methionine and the ribosome moves to the next codon. phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid methionine 1st codon ribosome

  11. BACK Watching the Process The mRNA enters the ribosome. The ribosome will begin to read the mRNA one codon at a time. Click on the amino acid that will be 1st delivered to the ribosome? Hint: Examine the Genetic Code chart on your handout to find the 1st codon. choices Now that methionine is delivered, tRNA drops off methionine and the ribosome moves to the next codon. phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid methionine ribosome

  12. Watching the Process The mRNA enters the ribosome. The ribosome will begin to read the mRNA one codon at a time. Click on the amino acid that will be 1st delivered to the ribosome? Hint: Examine the Genetic Code chart on your handout to find the 1st codon. choices Now that methionine is delivered, tRNA drops off methionine and the ribosome moves to the next codon. phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan Click on the next amino acid to be delivered. methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid methionine 2nd codon ribosome

  13. BACK Watching the Process Correct! CCA is the codon for the amino acid proline. Transfer RNA will deliver proline to the ribosome. Again, tRNA will drop off the amino acid and exit. The ribosome will move to the next codon. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid proline Amino Acid methionine ribosome

  14. BACK Watching the Process Correct! CCA is the codon for the amino acid proline. Transfer RNA will deliver proline to the ribosome. Again, tRNA will drop off the amino acid and exit. The ribosome will move to the next codon. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid proline Amino Acid methionine ribosome

  15. BACK Watching the Process Click on the amino acid which will be the 3rd delivered to the ribosome. Once again, the tRNA exits and the ribosome moves down a notch. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid tyrosine Amino Acid methionine Amino Acid proline ribosome

  16. BACK Watching the Process Click on the amino acid which will the 3rd delivered to the ribosome. Once again, the tRNA exits and the ribosome moves down a notch. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan Click on the amino acid that will be 4th delivered. methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid tyrosine Amino Acid methionine Amino Acid proline ribosome

  17. BACK Watching the Process Now what happens? Yep… GGC is the codon for the amino acid GLYCINE. Transfer RNA will deliver glycine to the ribosome. choices DNA helix splits mRNA reads the DNA phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid tRNA exits leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid glycine Amino Acid methionine Amino Acid proline Amino Acid tyrosine ribosome

You got it! choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid glycine Amino Acid methionine Amino Acid proline Amino Acid tyrosine ribosome

One Two Three choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine Five Four isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Asparticacid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid methionine Amino Acid proline Amino Acid glycine Amino Acid tyrosine ribosome
