BUT...
If DNA is used to build proteins
Q: HOW IS THIS ACTUALLY ACHIEVED?
DNA cannot escape the nucleus – the molecules
are too large, and proteins are manufactured in
ribosomes outside the nuclear envelope
A: DNA uses an intermediary form:
messenger RNA (mRNA)

From DNA to PROTEIN
2 phases to the process:
TRANSLATION
and
TRANSCRIPTION

TASK 1
Model a length of DNA by listing at least 21
nucleotide bases
And then build a complementary list of bases to
complete the molecule

TASK 2
Using your model from task 1 build a list of base
pairs to from a strand of mRNA
![Page 14: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - eNetCOLORADOenetlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/protein-synthesis.pdfWill be able to describe simple steps in protein synthesis: Transcription and Translation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a7c880aef8c7ef852fe07/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Here is a video that shows the process in detail
It is created using simulations of the molecules involved
DNA to
PROTIEN
TRANSCRIPTION
![Page 15: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - eNetCOLORADOenetlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/protein-synthesis.pdfWill be able to describe simple steps in protein synthesis: Transcription and Translation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a7c880aef8c7ef852fe07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1. RNA polymerase binds to DNA strand and
unwinds a short section (about 12 base pairs
long)
2. This then travels along the DNA strand
building an RNA molecule from the
TEMPLATE STRAND
The steps in this part of the process are:
3. Non coding strands of mRNA (Introns) are cut out leaving just
coding strands (Exons) in a process called SPLICING
TRANSCRIPTION
![Page 16: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - eNetCOLORADOenetlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/protein-synthesis.pdfWill be able to describe simple steps in protein synthesis: Transcription and Translation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a7c880aef8c7ef852fe07/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This stage is now complete and the mRNA is free
to pass through the nuclear envelope and into
the cell cytoplasm...
... where it is met by a
ribosome and is ready to undergo....
TRANSCRIPTION
TRANSLATION
![Page 17: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - eNetCOLORADOenetlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/protein-synthesis.pdfWill be able to describe simple steps in protein synthesis: Transcription and Translation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051918/600a7c880aef8c7ef852fe07/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This is: the process by which mRNA is ‘read’
to produce a strand protein chain
Another type of RNA is involved in this
stage; Transfer RNA (tRNA)
These units carry specific, individual, amino
acids
Process is carried out in the RIBOSOME
TRANSLATION

tRNA is a short strand of RNA with 2 important features:
Each tRNA molecule has an area with 3 bare bases: these
match up to corresponding bases on the mRNA (called
codons)
1: tRNA caries an ANTI CODON
There are 64 different tRNA molecules for each possible
combination of bases

tRNA is a short strand of RNA with 2 important features:
Each type of tRNA carries a SPECIFIC amino acid
2: tRNA is SPECIFIC
Some amino acids are coded for by just a single codon
others by several

“amino acid wheel” on next slide.

e.g. AUA, AUC or AUU = Isoleucine
CCA, CCU , CCG or CCC = Proline
AAA or AAG = Lysine
NON-OVERLAPPING:
Each set of 3 bases (codons) are read only once.
i.e. AUA|GCU|AAU|CCG|UGG
= ISO| ALA |ASP|PRO|TRY
