AND ILL FOLLOW YOU write a lab report on how proteins are built

Proteins are synthesized through a process known as protein synthesis, which consists of two main stages: transcription and translation. During transcription, a segment of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) with the help of specialized enzymes. Following this, mRNA undergoes processing, where introns—non-coding regions of the RNA—are removed. This mRNA processing occurs exclusively in eukaryotic cells, as they are the only cell type that contains non-essential DNA.

Once processing is complete, the mRNA is translated into transfer RNA (tRNA) during the translation phase, which also involves specialized enzymes. Translation takes place on the ribosome, where tRNA molecules are matched to their corresponding amino acids based on the mRNA sequence. For instance, the mRNA codon AUG is translated to the amino acid Methionine. As the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence, a chain of amino acids is gradually formed, ultimately resulting in the synthesis of a protein.

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid.

Proteins are built through protein synthesis. In protein synthesis, there are two parts, transcription and translation. In transcription, a strand of DNA is copied into mRNA with the use of specialized enzymes. Through mRNA processing, the introns of the strand, the non-needed parts of the strand, are removed. mRNA processing only occurs in eukaryotic cells as they are the only type of cell to have non-essential DNA. The mRNA is then converted to tRNA through the process of translation, which also uses specialized enzymes. On the ribosome, where translation occurs, tRNA is matched to the corresponding amino acid for every 3 letters that correspond to it. For example the mRNA strand of AUG is translated to match with the amino acid Methionine. The strand of amino acids gradually builds as more of the sequence is read by the tRNA and built on the ribosome. I hope this helps/ makes sense and i will write more if needed.
