Proteins are the building blocks of life. There are an estimated 10,000 to 50,000 different proteins in the human body. Whenever a cell needs to do something, it makes a specific protein to do it -- like grow a tooth or digest your lunch. Proteins cannot be synthesized (built) without instructions from DNA. This process is called protein synthesis and we'll talk more about it in a minute.

But first you need to know what proteins are made of.

Remember that we called proteins "the building blocks of life"? Well, amino acids are the building blocks of protein. And it's the order in which these amino acids go together - their "sequence" - that makes each protein unique. So protein synthesis is just a fancy name for making proteins.

Yes the best name for making protein is protein synthesis.
