Compelling Escherichia Coli Bacteria to Glow (For Halloween)



(Sorry for the awkward spacing of the pictures Mr. Quick. I'm not really technologically competent/still cannot figure out how to use google docs)











Protein Synthesis


Holy Cow
We learned wayyyyy too much about protein synthesis Mr. Quick. My head's gonna explode.

DNA -> RNA = transcription

RNA -> PROTEIN = translation


RNA

  • mRNA
    • made from one strand of DNA in nucleus - > leaves through a pore to find RIBOSOME in cytoplasm
  • rRNA
    • part of ribosome
  • tRNA
    • attached to amino acid
    • pairs with 3 letter codons on mRNA strand 
    • code for an amino acid

PROTEIN

  • made up of repeats of molecule called amino acid
