Study Notes
Protein Synthesis
- Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes
- Protein synthesis is the creation of a polypeptide chain (protein) using mRNA as a template
Transcription
- In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis initially occurs in the nucleus to create a transcript of the coding region of the DNA
- Transcription is the process by which an mRNA template is transcribed from DNA to provide a template for translation
- RNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing RNA from a DNA template during transcription
Initiation and Termination of Transcription
- RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region to initiate transcription
- The terminator sequence signals the end of transcription
