Protein Synthesis

How to code for the correct amino acids

Page 2: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

DNAFound in nucleusA is still pairing with T

Page 3: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

m-RNA Being made in the nucleusWill leave nucleus , go into cytoplasm to ribosome

Page 4: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

M-RNA read at ribosome in chunks of three (codons)Calls for t-RNA which brings certain amino acidsChains of amino acids link

Page 5: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

Stop codonLast group of three in the m-RNA referred to as the stop codonAmino acid chain is finished

Page 6: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

Protein is madeAmino acid chain folds to form a proteinA wrong amino acid would change the form of the protein (mutation)

Page 7: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

Student’s activityDNA creating m-RNA

Page 8: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

mRNA broken into codes of three (codons)Message is read at the ribosome

Page 9: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

mRNA codes for appropriate tRNAtRNA will bring the appropriate amino acid

Page 10: Protein Synthesis How to code for the correct amino acids

Based on code, students find the appropriate amino acid
