Protein Synthesis Summary
First, during Transcription, RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA double helix. The code for DNA is read and transferred to the mRNA strand. Then, during translation, mRNA comes in contact with ribosomes. The mRNA sequence is converted into an Amino Acid sequence. Every three nucleotides codes for one amino acid, or codons. tRNA is the carrier molecule for the amino acids.
