Discuss in details, and in your own words, the steps of protein synthesis
Following are the main 6 steps of protein synthesis =
Step 1
A section of DNA containing a gene is copied and a messenger molecule called mRNA is formed.
Step 2
The messenger molecule (mRNA) carries the DNA copy to the cytoplasm.
Step 3
The messenger molecule (mRNA) is fed through the ribosome 3 bases at a time.
Step 4
Transfer molecules called tRNA bring the correct AA (amino acid) from the cytoplasm to the ribosome.
Step 5
Transfer molecules (tRNA) drop amino acids (AA) off at the ribosome.
Step 6
The AA (amino acids) are linked together to form a long protein chain.....thanks
Note - protein is the polymers of aminoacid.
