Protein Synthesis

The process of protein synthesis (creation) happens like this:

Template taken

Template taken

  • A template is taken from the DNA and leaves the nucleus.
Template used

Template used

  • The template is used to guide protein synthesis on ribosomes located in the cytoplasm.
Delivery of amino acids

Delivery of amino acids

  • Specific amino acids are delivered by carrier molecules to the protein chain, where they are added in the order shown on the template.
Unique structure created

Unique structure created

  • Once complete, the long protein chain folds up, giving it a unique structure.
  • This unique structure is essential to the protein’s function, in the form of enzymes, hormones, or structural proteins (e.g. collagen).
