Protein Synthesis

Learn about the process of protein synthesis and how the genetic code is used to produce specific proteins. Understand the steps involved, from DNA transcription to mRNA translation, and the role of ribosomes and tRNA in building proteins. Engage in amino acid activities to reinforce your knowledge.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Protein Synthesis

  2. The genetic code • This is the sequence of bases along the DNA molecule • Read in 3 letter words (Triplet) • Each triplet codes for a different amino acid

  3. mRNA-Amino Acid Table

  4. Purpose • Chromosomes in the nucleus store genetic instructions for the production of specific proteins. • These proteins are put together by the ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum. • View Protein Synthesis Animation

  5. Steps DNA template strand Transcription triplet Nucleus mRNA Translation codon Ribosome anticodon tRNA and amino acids String of amino acids makes a protein. Amino acid

  6. Activities • Carry out the cut and paste activity. • Answer the questions
