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.
