Protein Synthesis Drawing
Hydrogen bonds between the complementary mRNA
bases and DNA bases are made.
tRNA molecules bring the correct amino acids to the
ribosome by bonding their anticodons to the complementary
mRNA codons.
More tRNA molecules transfer correct amino acids to
the growing protein chain (by matching the anticodon
on tRNA to the codons on mRNA). Remember: One
tRNA only carries one kind of A.A.
Still more tRNA molecules transfer correct amino acids to
the growing protein chain until the instructions (written in
the mRNA) have been followed completely.
Once one final protein is made, the ribosome will begin
making another protein from the same instructions until
the cell signals the ribosome to stop making these
proteins. This protein can now go perform it’s function
within the cell.
