  6. From RNA to Protein

    The fundamental reaction of protein synthesis is the formation of a peptide bond between the carboxyl group at the end of a growing polypeptide chain and a free amino group on an incoming amino acid. Consequently, a protein is synthesized stepwise from its N-terminal end to its C-terminal end.

  7. Biochemistry, Protein Synthesis

    Protein synthesis involves a complex interplay of many macromolecules. Ribosomes: The eukaryotic ribosome has two subunits: a 40S small subunit and a 60S large subunit. Together, the eukaryotic ribosome is 80S. There are several sites of functional significance, but the most important ones are the A (aminoacyl), P (peptidyl), and E (exit) sites.

  8. Ribosomes, Transcription, Translation

    The decoding of information in a cell's DNA into proteins begins with a complex interaction of nucleic acids. Learn how this step inside the nucleus leads to protein synthesis in the cytoplasm.

  9. RNA and protein synthesis review (article)

    Nonsense mutations result in a stop codon where an amino acid should be, causing translation to stop prematurely. ... Amino acids are not made during protein synthesis. Some students think that the purpose of protein synthesis is to create amino acids. However, amino acids are not being made during translation, they are being used as building ...

  10. Protein Synthesis, Processing, and Regulation

    Chapter 7 Protein Synthesis, Processing, and Regulation. Transcription and RNA processing are followed by translation, the synthesis of proteins as directed by mRNA templates. Proteins are the active players in most cell processes, implementing the myriad tasks that are directed by the information encoded in genomic DNA.

  11. Protein Synthesis

    Protein synthesis, as the name implies, is the process by which every cell produces specific proteins in its ribosome. ... As a result of this, an mRNA transcript containing a copy of the coding strand of DNA is formed. The only exception is, in the mRNA, the nitrogenous base thymine gets replaced by uracil. ... The mRNA formed at the end of ...

  12. 3.4 Protein Synthesis

    At the end of the gene, a sequence of nucleotides called the terminator sequence causes the new RNA to fold up on itself. This fold causes the RNA to separate from the gene and from RNA polymerase, ending transcription. Before the mRNA molecule leaves the nucleus and proceeds to protein synthesis, it is modified in a number of ways.

  13. 15.6: Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis

    Protein synthesis begins with the formation of an initiation complex. ... and the new protein "folded" into a distinct three-dimensional structure as a result of intramolecular interactions. A signal sequence is a short sequence at the amino end of a protein that directs it to a specific cellular compartment. These sequences can be thought ...

  14. Translation

    Translation, the synthesis of protein from RNA. Translation takes place on ribosomes, where messenger RNA molecules are read and translated into amino acid chains. These chains are then folded in various ways to form proteins. Translation follows transcription, in which DNA is decoded into RNA.

  15. 9.4: Protein Synthesis (Translation)

    The synthesis of proteins consumes more of a cell's energy than any other metabolic process. In turn, proteins account for more mass than any other macromolecule of living organisms. They perform virtually every function of a cell, serving as both functional (e.g., enzymes) and structural elements. The process of translation, or protein ...

  16. 14.3 The Mechanism of Protein Synthesis

    Protein synthesis begins with the formation of an initiation complex. ... and the new protein "folded" into a distinct three-dimensional structure as a result of intramolecular interactions. A signal sequence is a short sequence at the amino end of a protein that directs it to a specific cellular compartment. These sequences can be thought ...

  17. 11.4 Protein Synthesis (Translation)

    The process of translation, or protein synthesis, the second part of gene expression, involves the ... An amino acid is added to the end of a tRNA molecule through the process of tRNA "charging," during which ... these nonsense codons are recognized by release factors in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that result in the P-site amino acid ...

  18. 6.4: Protein Synthesis

    Relate protein synthesis and its two major phases to the central dogma of molecular biology. Identify the steps of transcription, and summarize what happens during each step. Explain how mRNA is processed before it leaves the nucleus. Describe what happens during the translation phase of protein synthesis.

  19. 3.4 Protein Synthesis

    By the end of this section, you will be able to: ... from mRNA are not always non-coding. When different coding regions of mRNA are spliced out, different variations of the protein will eventually result, with differences in structure and function. ... The other major requirement for protein synthesis is the translator molecules that physically ...

  20. Translation: Making Protein Synthesis Possible

    Protein synthesis is accomplished through a process called translation. In translation, RNA and ribosomes work together to produce proteins.

  21. Stages of transcription

    As the RNA polymerase approaches the end of the gene being transcribed, it hits a region rich in C and G nucleotides. The RNA transcribed from this region folds back on itself, and the complementary C and G nucleotides bind together. The result is a stable hairpin that causes the polymerase to stall.

    Ionizing radiation (IR)-induced double-strand breaks (DSBs) are primarily repaired by non-homologous end joining or homologous recombination (HR) in human cells. DSB repair requires adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) for protein kinase activities in the multiple steps of DSB repair, such as DNA ligation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA damage signaling via protein kinase and ATPase activities.
