Protein synthesis (my version)

• The Central Dogma is the one-way flow of information. The Central Dogma of molecular biology is DNA->RNA->Proteins
• The two main process by which proteins are made are transcription and translation.
• The language of mRNA is genetic code.
• Genetic code is made up of the letters A,U,G, and C. A combination of three letters known as a codon.
• Genetic code is read 3 bases (1 codon) at a time.
• There can 64 possible codons in a genetic code.
• What is the start codon?


  AUG
• What is the 'start' amino acid?
