Protein Synthesis Biology Honors
Storyboard Text
- Hi! Im gonna be telling you a story of protein synthesis. Sit back, grab some popcorn and a pillow... your gonna need it when u fall asleep.
- Once upon a time during the first step of Transcription, Transcription produces one strand of nucleotides. It then replaces thymine. To release protein, a cell releases chemical signals. Only a portion of DNA is used as a template and then separated. Complementary nucleotides of RNA are added to DNA. This becomes the messenger RNA.
- The mRNA carries the instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where they will be translated. They instructions are then arranged in codons. A codon is a group of three consecutive nitrogenous bases that either codes for a specific amino acid or make the end of a protein.
- During the lovely time of Translation, mRNA is covered into a sequence of amino acids that make up a specified protein. Translation finally begins after the mRNA moves from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
- Transfer RNA carries amino acids into the mRNA where they join together and make protein babies. In order to translate the code, mRNA codons must join with the correct anticodon sites on the tRNA.
- The ribosome's job in this story is to assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains, which are combined into proteins. Ribosomal RNA makes up some of the structure and assists in translation. During Translation, up to two tRNA molecules are connected to the mRNA.
