Genetic translation in the first stage of protein biosynthesis
messenger RNA (mRNA) carries instructions that are required for assembling asmino acids into proteins (a process called translation)
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Proteins are produced by the ribosomes which link together amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, via peptide bonds based on the instructions given by the mRNA (messenger RNA) strand it is translating. The ribosomes link together amino acids like beads on a string. This string of beads is a protein.
Amino acids
Amino acids by (mostly linear) peptidic bonding
Amino acids contain both the amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Proteins are formed by amino acids.
Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
RNA assembles amino acids into proteins.
The function of messenger RNA is to carry copies of the instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins to the rest of the cell or, more specifically, to the ribosomes.
The instructions for arranging amino acids are found in the DNA sequences of genes. Each gene contains a specific sequence of nucleotides that encode the information for assembling a specific sequence of amino acids in a protein. This process is carried out during protein synthesis, where mRNA is created from DNA and then used as a template for assembling amino acids in the correct order.
The function of messenger RNA is to carry copies of the instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins to the rest of the cell or, more specifically, to the ribosomes.
Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for using the instructions carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) and the amino acids carried by transfer RNA (tRNA) to assemble proteins in the cell through a process called translation.
When DNA does not provide instructions for assembling a protein properly, this could be dangerous. This is caused by inability of the genes to pass the encoded message to amino acids.
nucleic acids
It produces instructions for assembling proteins.Proteins. They determine the sequence of amino acids which in turn determines the primary structure of a protein.
Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis - the process of assembling proteins from molecules called amino acids
To assemble amino acids into proteins, you need to follow the genetic code in DNA, which specifies the sequence of amino acids. This information is transcribed into mRNA and then translated by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome according to the codons on the mRNA. The amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into its functional protein structure.
