Why is this important?
Well…what do proteins DO?
IV. Protein Synthesis
Why is this important?
Well…what do proteins DO?
Think about it this way:
1)sugars, fats, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins, themselves, are broken down and built up through chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. 2)So everything a cell IS, and everything it DOES, is either done by proteins or is done by molecules put together by proteins.

(r-RNA)(t-RNA)
The ribosome reads the m-RNA. Based on the sequence of nitrogenous bases in the m-RNA, a specific sequence of amino acids (carried to the ribosome by t-RNA’s) is linked together to form a protein. This is TRANSLATION.

The protein product may be modified (have a sugar, lipid, nucleic acid, or another protein added) and/or spliced to become a functional protein. This is POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION.

In all eukaryotic genes and in some prokaryotic sequences, there are introns and exons. There may be multiple introns of varying length in a gene. Genes may be several thousand base-pairs long. This is a simplified example!

1) Strand separate2) RNA Polymerase can only synthesize RNA in a 5’3’ direction,
so they only read the anti-parallel, 3’5’ strand (‘sense’ strand).

Some 3-base codon have no corresponding t-RNA. These are stop codons, because translocation does not add an amino acid; rather, it ends the chain.

- DNA bound to histones can’t be accessed by RNA Polymerase - but the location of histones changes, making genes accessible (or inaccessible)
Initially, the orange gene is “off”, and the green gene is “on”
Now the orange gene is “on” and the green gene is “off”.

Transcription factors can inhibit or encourage the binding of the RNA Polymerase. And, through signal transduction, environmental factors can influence the activity of these transcription factors. So cells can respond genetically to changes in their environment.

Incorrect splicing can result in a ‘premature’ stop codon, terminating translation early, resulting in a non-functional protein.
