Protein Synthesis - Used to make proteins
1) DNA is found on replicated and condensed chromosome.
1 of 9
Transcription
2) Transcription factors and RNA polymerase attach to the DNA (they help transcription run quickly).
2 of 9
RNA Nucleotides
3) The transcription factors break the hydrogen bonds between bases, and so the strands separate. RNA nucleotides (G,C,U,T) attach to their specific/complementary free bases.
3 of 9
End of Transcription
4) RNA polymerase joins the RNA nucleotides.
4 of 9
Splicing
5) On the RNA, introns are removed by an enzyme in a process called splicing. (Exons are left behind).
5 of 9
tRNA
There are different tRNA for each of the 20 amino acids (as have different anticodons), each tRNA are specific to an amino acid.
6 of 9
Translation
6) mRNA moves to ribsomes for production of protein. The anitcodon on the tRNA pairs with its specific/complementary codon on the mRNA.
7 of 9
Amino Acids
7) As the tRNA line up, the amino acids join together by peptide bonds.
8 of 9
Protein
8) The joined polymer chain of amino acids, folds in to form a protein.
