Protein synthesis

• When was the structure of DNA founded and who founded it?

  1953, watson and crick
• DNA


  • Code strip for amino acids that make proteins
  • Base : A, T, G, C
  • Every life form on the planet uses the exact same coding system of amino acids
  • Set of code for a whole protein is a Gene
• RNA


  • Molecule for copying DNA
  • DNA never leaves the cell nucleus, instead it is copied so the original DNA is never lost
  • Bases: A, G, C, U
• Transcription


  • Copying the gene on the DNA
  • DNA that will be copied is identified, Gene unzips, RNA bases area attached
  • Bases attached : T-A, A-U, G-C, C-G,
  • Code is read in the ribosomes
  • Amino acids join to make proteins
