Protein Synthesis DNA (genes) to proteins
Turned into Takes code on basepairs Converts it to DNA RNA PROTEIN Protein Synthesis Building protein from DNA in cells
Review Proteins - long chains of amino acids Order of amino acids important because • it determine the shape of protein • which in turn determine the function or job of protein
Differences w/ DNA • Single strand of nucleotides • nucleotide URACIL replaces thymine
Complimentary bases in RNA 1. cytosine & guanine 2. adenine & uracil
3 types of RNA in protein syn. • Club shaped - transport amino acids 1. mRNA - messenger RNA • Straight single strand of RNA 2 . tRNA - transfer RNA 3. rRNA - ribosomal RNA - help link amino acids together
3 steps protein synthesis 1. Transcription - DNA mRNA 2. Translation - tRNA reads mRNA 3. Linking - amino acids linked together
Step 1 - Transcription code form DNA used to form mRNA • in nucleus • DNA unzipped - base pairs read • Complimentary RNA nucleotides - form mRNA
codon Original DNA C A T T C A G A C mRNA formed G U A A G U C U G • Code is stored - groups of 3 nucleotide basepairs - called aCODON
Step 2 - Translation mRNA enters cytoplasm & ribosomes read codons on mRNA
tRNA - carry amino acids • has special region - ANTI-CODON -- 3 nucleotides • nucleotides complimentary to codons on mRNA • determine amino acid tRNA carries
codon 1 codon 2 codon 3 C A U U C A G A C anti-codon 1 anti-codon 2 anti- codon 3 mRNA G U A A G U C U G tRNA
Step 3 - Linking Amino acids brought to ribosome by tRNA - linked together
tRNA w/ complimentary anti-codon - fits into ribosome - drops off amino acid attached & links to protein chain
codon 1 codon 2 codon 3 C A U U C A G A C anti-codon 1 anti-codon 2 anti- codon 3 mRNA G U A A G U C U G tRNA Amino acid Valine (Val) Serine (Ser) Leucine (Leu)
STOP codon - on mRNA -stops linking amno acids • START codon - start linking amino acids
