genetic transcription and translation is pretty involved and it requires several players DNA messenger RNA ribosomes and transfer RNA DNA of course stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and is found as a double helix in the nucleus of the cell DNA contains the genetic material that runs all processes in the cell protein synthesis begins with a process called transcription the DNA code is transferred to messenger RNA in the nucleus of the cell RNA polymerase create a messenger RNA strand using the DNA the template this new messenger RNA moves through the nucleus to the cytoplasm messenger RNA Associates with the ribosome subunits and an enzyme in the cytoplasm activates its Transfer RNA by attaching a specific amino acid Transfer RNA the first Transfer RNA attaches to be a site of the ribosome and Begins the sequence of building a protein using amino acids in this scenario the first Transfer RNA carries the anticodon UAC which is Elementary to Aug on the messenger RNA strand then the ribosome moves down the transfer RNA messenger RNA complex the first Transfer RNA anticodon is now in the P site on the ribosome a nutria RNA complementary to the next anticodon in the sequence moves into the a site carrying the next amino acid in this example the transfer RNA has an anticodon AAA complementary to you you you on the messenger RNA strip an enzyme in the ribosome catalyzes the formation of a bond between the two amino acids now in the ribosome then the ribosome moves down the transfer RNA messenger RNA complex again the transfer RNA that was in the peace is now in the East site and the transfer RNA that was in the a site is now in the P site the transfer RNA in the E site doesn't have an amino acid attached anymore so it is released this process also opens the a site to set the next Transfer RNA this shifting an adding continues until the ribosome reaches the stop codon signaling the end of the protein synthesis
