protein synthesis

• The full range of proteins an individual's genes encode is called the proteome.
• mRNA travels from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm
• tRNA forms a clover like shape and reads the mRNA codons and brings the corresponding amino acid into the ribosomes
• RNA polymerase breaks the h bonds to separate the two DNA strands
• six bases or two codons can fit inside the ribosome at a time
• each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid into the ribosome. the amino acid is bound to tRNA using ATP
