Study Notes
Protein Synthesis
- Protein formation usually takes place in the ribosomes.
- mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence is composed of codons, which are triplets of nucleotides that code for amino acids.
mRNA Structure and Function
- The first step in protein production is transcription, where DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
- mRNA transcripts are produced from a DNA template through the process of transcription.
- The mRNA sequence composition includes a sequence of codons that dictate the amino acid sequence of a protein.
Codons and Protein Synthesis
- Codons represent specific amino acids or stop signals during protein synthesis.
- The process by which cells synthesize proteins is called gene expression, which involves transcription and translation.
Importance of Gene Expression
- Studying gene expression is important in disease diagnosis, as changes in gene expression can contribute to disease development and progression.
