Protein Synthesis Flashcards
genetic information that is translated into proteins
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Dna Building blocks
: Nucleotides
Dna Pentose sugar:
Deoxyribose
• Purine:
2 rings
Pyrimidine
1 ring
Chargaff’s Rule = =
Adenine = Thymine
Cytosine = Guanine
Chargaff’s Rule
If there’s 50 Adenine, there should be 50 Thymine

RNA
Ribonucleic acid (
Rna Pentose sugar:
Ribose
Rna = =
• Adenine = URACIL
• Cytosine = Guanine
copy of DNA in form of RNA
Mrna
- carries the information of DNA in the nucleus to cytoplasm to be translated into protein
Mrna
Information is in form of Codon (sets of three bases – AUG)
Mrna
Has anticodon information
Trna
carries and transfer amino acid to make protei
Trna
- RNA component of ribosome

Dna replication occures in
Nucleus
Why dna rep
produce two identical DNA molecule
Each molecule consists of an old strand and a new strand
Semiconservativereplication-
Stages of dna rep
• 3mainstages: – 1 Unwinding
– 2 Base pairing – 3 Joining
Unwindingandunzippingdoneby
Dna helicase
The hydrogen bond between bases are broken

Primase dna polymerase
make a primer so that DNA polymerase knows where to start to work
Primase
adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of the new strand (Leading strand)
Polymerase
is replicated in fragments called
- Lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments.
links the sections of DNA to complete the process.

mRNA will be synthesized with the help of
RNA polymerase.

mRNA
The formation of protein in the specific amino acid
sequence directed by information carried by mRNA.
Translation
involves mRNA, tRNA, ribosome and amino acids to create protein
Translation
-RNA will be read in sets of three bases know as -.
