Protein Synthesis

Front

What is the goal of protein synthesis?

Back

to make proteins

Front

1 amino acid is coded by

Back

1 codon

Front

Process of DNA to mRNA

Back

transcription

Front

enzyme that unzips the DNA

Back

Helicase

Front

Enzyme that adds new RNA nucleotides to make mRNA

Back

RNA Polymerase

Front

Order of events for creating a protein:
1. mRNA attaches to rRNA
2. codons are continuously read by tRNA
3. tRNA reaches a stop codon
4. tRNA connects second amino acid by peptide bond to Methionine
5. Polypeptide chain is created
6. mRNA’s start codon AUG is translated by tRNA’s anticodon (Methionine)

Front

Order the events for creating a protein:
1. RNA Polymerase reaches a termination/stopping point
2. Helicase attaches and unzips the desired gene
3. mRNA leaves the nucleus
4. RNA Polymerase adds new RNA nucleotides and makes mRNA
