The below mentioned article provides short notes on the genetic code. The DNA carries the genetic information for the type of protein to be synthesized. The genetic information is transmitted to the ribosomes which is the place of protein synthesis through mRNA which moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The mRNA is formed from the DNA or part of [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Structure of Protein 2. The Role of Nucleic Acids in Protein Synthesis 3. The General Scheme and the Mechanism of Protein Synthesis. Structure of Protein: Proteins are giant molecules, formed of long chains of about hundred to several hundred amino acid molecules arranged in a variety of sequences. Although, amino acid molecules [...]
