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
