Study Notes
Protein Synthesis
- Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix during protein synthesis.
mRNA Function
- mRNA (messenger RNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
Peptide Bond Formation
- Peptide bonds are formed between amino acids during the translation stage of protein synthesis, which occurs on the ribosome.
Test your knowledge about the process of protein synthesis with these questions. Explore concepts such as enzymes involved in DNA unwinding, the role of mRNA, and the stage where peptide bonds are formed between amino acids.
