Protein Synthesis Gene Expression
Protein Synthesis • • The process of making proteins… Boring stuff? Nope This is how the information in your genes is used to build… you!
The role of DNA • The material that genes are made of… • Gene - segment of DNA that carries the information necessary to build a protein. • Information is encoded in the sequence of the four DNA bases (ATGC). • A gene is a sequence of thousands of these bases that codes for a protein!
DNA • Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is found in what part of the cell? Nucleus
• The DNA in a single human cell = 3, 000, 000 bases http: //www. pbs. org/wgbh/nova/photo 51/jourflash. html
DNA is Double Stranded Molecule • The four bases that make up the genetic code (ATGC) form complimentary pairs. • A pairs with T… G pairs with C. • If one strand is ACGCAATTGCATT • The other is TGCGTTAACGTAA • This makes it possible for DNA to copy its self…
What is a gene? • Segment of DNA that codes for a protein!!!
How do genes make proteins? • The DNA is in the _______ of the cell. • Protein synthesis takes place at the _____…in the cytoplasm. • The information needs to leave the nucleus… Do you think the DNA can leave the nucleus?
Transcription • The information in the DNA is encoded in a molecule of RNA (Transcribed). • DNA can’t leave the nucleus …a messenger is sent. • RNA is the messenger. (m. RNA) • DNA = ATGCGTTAC • RNA= UACGCAAUG
Translation • At the ribosome, the messenger RNA provides the instructions for building a protein… • The information is translated from the language of DNA/RNA to the language of proteins.

Describe what happens in transcription and translation • Transcription – A copy of the information in a gene (DNA) is encoded into RNA (in nucleus). • Translation – The RNA (messenger) serves as the plan for building a protein (at ribosome)
