Initiation:

In the cytoplasm, protein synthesis is actually initiated by the AUG codon on mRNA. The AUG codon signals both the interaction of the ribosome with m-RNA and also the tRNA with the anticodons (UAC). The tRNA which initiates the protein synthesis has N-formyl-methionine attached. The formyl group is really formic acid converted to an amide using the -NH2 group on methionine (left most graphic)

The next step is for a second tRNA to approach the mRNA (codon - CCG). This is the code for proline. The anticodon of the proline tRNA which reads this is GGC. The final process is to start growing peptide chain by having amine of proline to bond to the carboxyl acid group of methinone (met) in order to elongate the peptide.

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.


What is the second part of protein synthesis?

The second part of protein synthesis is translation, where the messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded by ribosomes to assemble a specific amino acid sequence and form a protein. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.


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.


Which of these is a step in protein synthesis?

Translation, which is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA using ribosomes and tRNA, is a step in protein synthesis. During translation, the ribosome reads the codons on the mRNA and binds the appropriate amino acids carried by tRNA molecules to assemble the protein chain.


What is the first step in protein synythesis?

The first step of protein synthesis is transcription, where the DNA "unzips" to direct the production of a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA). This carries the instructions for the production of protein to the ribosome. Transcription is further divided into three stages: into 3 stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.


Describe the role of DNA and genes in protein synthesis.?

The role Of DNA and genes in protein synthesis is to create proteins through its multi-step process of transcription and translation which results in the formation of proteins.
