Bits Involved in Protein Synthesis

• DNA - Carried the code for all the proteins that a cell can make.
• mRNA - Messenger RNA copies the code for a single protein from DNA (transcription) and transports it to the ribosome in the cell's cytospasm.
• Ribosome - 'Reads' the mRNA code and assembles amino acids in their correct sequence to make a functional protein. This is called translation
• tRNA - Transfer RNA brings individual amino acids to the ribosome from the cytoplasm.
