    A protein is a string of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in human protein. Each amino acid is coded by a set sequence of genetic code made up of four bases - adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. Protein synthesis makes use of the complementary nature of DNA. In the first stage, transcription, the DNA in the nucleus is unzipped allowing mRNA bases to attach and create an mRNA strand, which then leaves the nucleus into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore.

    Protein Synthesis

    A protein is a string of amino acids. There are 20 amino acids in


    human protein. Each amino acid is coded by a set sequence of genetic
    code. This is made up of four bases: A (adenine), T (thymine), G
    (guanine) and C (cytosine). These bases are complimentary, and are
    held together by hydrogen bonds. They bond A to T and C to G.
    Protein synthesis makes use of the complementary nature of DNA. In
    the first stage, transcription, the DNA in the nucleus is unzipped. This
    allows single RNA bases to attach in order to create a strand of mRNA
    (messenger RNA). Once complete, the mRNA strand leaves the
    nucleus to enter the cytoplasm via the nuclear pore.
    RNA is similar to DNA, but has two distinct differences.
    1. Instead of having the bases thymine, it is replaced by Uracil, U.
    2. RNA is only one strand.
    The second stage of protein synthesis, transcription, occurs in the
    cytoplasm. Here the mRNA attaches to the ribosome. This organelle
    moves along the mRNA strand decoding it into base triplets, a codon.
    Each codon codes for a particular amino acid. A chain of amino acids,
    called a polypeptide, is created by tRNA (transfer RNA) codons.
    tRNA are found free in the cytoplasm. Each tRNA codon has an amino
    acid attached to it which they bring to the ribosome. The tRNA bonds
    complimentary to the mRNA. Once the amino acids have linked up, the
    tRNA then leaves to collect another amino acid.
    Once the polypeptide chain is complete, it will fold and twist or join
    other polypeptide chains to form a protein.
