Protein Synthesis What is protein? Made in the ribosome Made by protein synthesis Made of amino acids (there are 20) How does it work?? You need RNA! (because DNA is too big to leave the nucleus) o Ribonucleic Acid How’s that different from DNA? o Both are nucleic acids o RNA only has one strand o Has a different sugar (ribose vs deoxyribose) o Has Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine o Thymine is replaced with Uracil Two types of RNA o mRNA- messenger RNA- copies the message from DNA and carries it to the ribosome o tRNA- transfer RNA- carries amino acids to the ribosome and adds them to the protein Steps to Protein Synthesis: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Transcription (RNA Copies DNA) mRNA Enters Cytoplasm Ribosomes Attach to mRNA tRNA Attaches to mRNA (Translation) Amino Acids Join in the Ribosome Protein Chain Forms
