Hello class! Today we will be learning about the process of Protein Synthesis.
PROTEIN
SYNTHESIS

Everything has a beginning and an end. Before we start, you should all know about start and stop codons, a sequence of three nucleotides. The most common start codon is AUG, but there are many other possibilities. The stop codons can be UAG, UAA, or UGA. These simply mark the beginning or end of the process!

To start it off, the first step is initiation. This step marks the start of the process, where an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds, forcing DNA strands apart.

Who knows the next step of this process?

I do!

The next step is called 'Elongation' in which the RNA polymerase moves along the template strand

Excellent work! Now it's time to talk about the third step. Here, a strand of mRNA is made complementary to the DNA template using nucleotides from the nucleus. Does anyone know the next part?

I know it!

It is called 'Termination'. It is what represents the RNA polymerase reaching the series of DNA bases, or the termination signal.

Great! There are 3 other parts that make up termination. The next step marks the detachment from the RNA and DNA polymerase. Anybody know the next part?

I know!
