Translation is the process of taking the RNA copy of gene sequence recently been transcribed inside the nucleus into the corresponding amino acids that will ultimately make up the protein.

Once an RNA copy of the DNA gene is obtained, it leaves the nucleus. It then makes its way to a ribosome (either a free ribosome in the cytoplasm or one attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The two subunits of the ribosome come together and the RNA attaches itself to it. Then free floating transfer RNA molecules (tRNAs) that have a specific amino acid attached to it along with a 3-nucleotide strand compliment to that of the RNA molecule make their way towards the ribosome. As the RNA feeds its way through the two subunits, these tRNAs attach, detach their amino acid to the growing chain, and then detach to go gather another amino acid. This entire process of feeding the RNA strand through the ribosome and tRNAs adding their respective amino acid to the growing peptide chain is called translation.

What is the step in the synthesis of proteins from RNA called where the genetic message contained in RNA determines the specific amino acid sequence of a protein?

Translation


Where is the first step of protein synthesis occur?

on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell


Inhibitor of protein synthesis?

In prokaryotes tetracycline, chloremphenicol can inhibit protein synthesis. Puromycin is an antibiotic that inhibit both prokaryotic and eukaryotic protein synthesis. Each antibiotics has specific mode of action where it inhibits by binding, for example Chloremphenicol block the peptidyl transfer step.


The first step in making a protein is to make a copy of?

it is to translation is a process of producing the protein before that another process called translation process production of RNA takes place this RNA with the help of a coding amino produces the proteins


Where a proteins produced?

Protein biosynthesis is the process in which cells build or manufacture proteins. The term is sometimes used to refer only to protein translation but more often it refers to a multi-step process, beginning with amino acid synthesis and transcription of nuclear DNA into messenger RNA, which is then used as input for translation.The synthesis of proteins is known as translation. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm, where the ribosomes are located. Ribosomes are made of a small and large subunit that surround the mRNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide according to the rules specified by the trinucleotide genetic code. This uses an mRNA sequence as a template to guide the synthesis of a chain of amino acids that form a protein. Translation proceeds in four phases: activation, initiation, elongation, and termination (all describing the growth of the amino acid chain, or polypeptide that is the product of translation).Source: Wikipedia-en

3 steps of protein synthesis?

In the body, proteins are synthesized inside organelles known as ribosomes. The first step in protein synthesis is the transcription of mRNA from a gene of DNA. The second step is for protein synthesis to begin and the formation of a protein chain to take place. The third step is for the ribosome to terminate production of the protein, hydrolyze the ingredients that initiated protein production, and then release the protein from the ribosome.

What step of the protein synthesis process would be disrupted if someones diet was nutricienally deficient in proteins?

there will not be enough amount of amino acids present in the protein deficient food, hence there will not be enough protein synthesis.
