The DNA molecule in the nucleus makes a copy of itself using RNA, this is Messenger RNA.
The Messenger RNA travel to a Ribosome.
There is Transfer RNA floating about the cytoplasm. This is short (only three base pairs long) pieces of RNA that have their own unique amino acid attached to them.
The Transfer RNA links up with the Messenger RNA according to their mutually compatible base pairs. The amino acids that the Transfer RNA is carrying link up with each other and detach from the Transfer RNA this is the beginning of a protein chain.

Why does a protein need an amino acid chain?
A protein is by definition, a chain of amino acids.
What happens to the new amino acid chain when translation ends?
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
Which amino acid did the protein chain end with?
Thr
What amino acid is at the end of every protein chain?
valine
A hereditary condition caused by an incorrect amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a protein chain is?
sickle cell anemia
Is protein a peptide?
The links in a protein (amino acid) chain are called peptide bonds. These are any combination of amino acids in which the amino group of one acid is united with the carboxyl group of another.
Is melanin a protein?
I screwed up-- the first person had it right. Here's their answer: "A protein is composed of several amino acids chained together - so no melanin is not a protein. Melanin is formed from the amino acid Tyrosine and is NOT a chain of amino acids thus it is not a protein nor is it a amino acid."
Which amino acid begins every protein chain?
Methionine or Met for short.
What monomer makes up protein?
Amino acid monomers make up a polypeptide chain which folds into it's particular shape, based on amino acid sequences, to make a protein
When translation end what happens to the new amino acids?
It folds into a protein When translation ends, the new amino acid chain folds into a protein.
Chains of amino acid?
A chain of amino acids make up a protein and is also called a polypeptide chain.
Glucose is to a starch as a. a steroid is to a lipid b. a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid c. an amino acid is to a protein d. a polypeptide is to an amino acid?
an amino acid is to a protein. ie starch is made of a chain of glucose with side branching. aa's combine to make a protein, to simplify things
