Proteins are made of Amino Acid "polymers" where each amino acid is like a link in a (polymer) chain. When you eat proteins your digestion system breaks them down into amino acids. The amino acids (flexible building blocks) are then absorbed into your body, and they are used to build (assemble) your proteins.
Animal proteins are complete. Plants provide amino acids which can be used by your body to assemble proteins if enough of the right amino acids are present.
tRNA brings amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein. The tRNA anticodon pairs with its complimentary mRNA codon in order to place the amino acid in the correct sequence.
The amino acid pool is located in the cytoplasm of cells. It consists of all the available amino acids that can be used for the synthesis of proteins or other biological molecules as needed by the cell.
ribosomes in the cell, where the protein synthesis process occurs. This information is used by the ribosomes to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form a specific protein. The sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA corresponds to the sequence of amino acids in the protein being synthesized.
The machine is called a peptide synthesizer. It is used to assemble amino acids into specific sequences to create peptides.
In the cytoplasm, key reactant molecules include glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, which are essential for various metabolic processes. Glucose is primarily used in glycolysis to produce ATP, while amino acids are involved in protein synthesis. Additionally, fatty acids can be broken down for energy through β-oxidation. These reactants are crucial for cellular respiration, biosynthesis, and energy production.
mRNA works with ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and amino acids to synthesize proteins. The mRNA carries the genetic information, the ribosomes provide the site for protein synthesis, tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosomes, and amino acids are the building blocks used to assemble proteins according to the mRNA codons.
The messenger RNA (mRNA) strand contains the codes for the amino acids that make up a protein. During protein synthesis, the mRNA strand is used by ribosomes to read the genetic information and assemble the corresponding amino acids.
Ribosomes can be compared to factories because they assemble proteins from amino acids, similar to how factories assemble products from various components. Alternatively, ribosomes can be likened to 3D printers, where instructions (mRNA) are used to create a final product (protein) by adding individual components (amino acids) layer by layer.
The pattern used in protein synthesis is called the genetic code. It consists of sequences of three nucleotide bases (codons) in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids. Ribosomes decode these codons to assemble amino acids into a protein according to the instructions carried by the mRNA.
