Protein Synthesis Brochure Project
Objective: To demonstrate your knowledge of protein synthesis the construction and completion of an informative
brochure. Someone reading your brochure should gain a better understanding of this complicated process.
Important Information: You will have one day in the media center to work on this assignment (Thursday, November 7).
The final project, PRINTED and complete, is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday, November 11. Remember,
the media center is available before school, after school and during your lunch period. Check the blog post for
downloadable and editable brochure templates.
Project Directions: Use the directions below as a guide to your work. Be sure to give each section a title page, include a
relevant picture and complete all required information. The guiding questions should give you an idea of the type of
information which should be included on that page. Feel free to include more, but not less. Be sure to keep both the
directions and rubric in mind as you work on this assignment. Where can you find this information? Textbook, video
lectures, links from the protein synthesis webquest, and any additional research you conduct using reputable resources.

The goal of this section is to
demonstrate how one protein is made
from a single gene. You will do this
by making up your own protein!
Make this section pleasing to the eye
because it is the first thing your
reader will see!
This section of your brochure should
include general information on the
very important protein
macromolecule.
1. Make up a DNA sequence which
will code for 10 amino acids.
Term to include and define:
2. Break up the sequence into codons.
Guiding Questions:
What are proteins?
Why are proteins so important?
How do we get proteins?
What are some common proteins?
Terms to include and define:
Protein
Amino Acid
Gene
Protein Synthesis
3. Transcribe the DNA sequence into
an mRNA sequence.
4. Use the sequence chart/wheel to
determine the amino acids being
signaled.
