Thought u bro's might like some insight with pics...;)




For simplicity, a protein made of 10 amino acids is reviewed...Keep in mind, most proteins have more than 100...




[1.] A special protein zips open a section of the DNA strands...(go to pic 1)...

[2.] Free RNA bases link up with the exposed DNA bases on one strand only,thus forming a strand of messenger RNA... (go to pic 2)...


[2b.] (go to pic 3)...


[3.] The newly made messenger RNA peels off and moves away to the ribosomes... (go to pic 4)...

[4.] A transfer RNA picks up an amino acid and brings it to the ribosome...(go to pic 5)...

[4b.] go to next post...:)

Continued....


[5.] As the ribosome sweeps across the messenger RNA, a chain of amino acids is linked together..(go to pic 6)...

[6.] As it is being formed, the protein chain begins to fold into the shape needed to function properly...Then the chain is released by the ribosome... (go to pic 7)...


I hope u enjoyed!.............
