A greater explanation of ribosomes and DNA to amino acid sequence (protein creation)
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A ribosome translates mRNA into a protein sequence, a linear chain of amino acids. This chain must fold correctly into a particular 3-D stable structure to become a functional protein. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 12.16.1 | Amino Acids | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Amino acids are the basic building blocks that make up the amino acid polymer chains called proteins. The four base letters in nucleic acids are read 3 at a time as a series of triplet codons, each amino acid being encoded by one or more different triplets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There are 20 standard amino acids making up the proteins in all living systems: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
