1 GenesCodeForProteins The genetic code is responsible for the construction of proteins, which may be structural components of cells or metabolism.ontrollinq enzymes, The various levels of genetic instructions are illustrated below, together with their 'protein equivalents', Nucleotides are the simplest basic unit of genetic information, that are read in groups of three (called triplets), One triplet provides information to bring in a single amino acid during protein construction, Series of triplets in a long string allow the synthesis of polypeptide chains and are called genes, Some triplets have a special controlling function in the making of a polypeptide chain. The equivalent of the triplet on the mrna molecule is the codon.three codons can signify the end point of polypeptide chain construction in the mrna : UAG. UAA and UGA (also called STOP codons). The triplet ATG is found at the beginning of every gene (codon AUG on mrna) and marks the starting position for reading the gene. Several polypeptide chains may be needed to form a functional protein, The genes required to do this are collectively called a transcription unit.

2 P":.....&.\ RAE) GeneExpression The process of protein synthesis is fundamental to the process of transferring the information encoded in a gene to its understanding of how a cell can control its activities. Genetic functional gene product is called gene expression. t is divided instructions, in the form of DNA, are used as a blueprint for up into two distinct stages:transcription and translation.these designing and manufacturing proteins. Some of these proteins are summarized below and detailed in the following pages. For are the enzymes that control the complex biochemical reactions the sake of simplicity, the involvement of introns in gene in the cell, while others take on a variety of other roles.

3 Coding strand of n NA h~~ ~ ~~L " '~~L_ ~~~.. Transcription is the process by which the code contained in the DNA molecule is transcribed (rewritten) into a mrna molecule. Transcription is under the control of the cell's metabolic processes which must activate a gene before this process can begin. The enz yme that directly controls the process is RNA polymerase, which makes a strand of mrna using the single antisense (template ) strand of DNA as a template. The enzyme Transcripti on transcribes onl y a gene length of DNA at a time and therefore recognizes star t and stop signals (codes ) at the beginning and end of the gene. Only RNA polymerase is involved in mrna synthesis ; it causes the unwinding of the DNA as well. t is common to find several RNA polymerase enzyme mo lecules on the same gene at anyone time, allowing a high rate of mrna synthesis to occur. 5' Single-armed enrornosomeas found in non-dividingcell. Freenucleolides usedto construct the mrnastrand. RNApolymerase enzyme A copy of the genetic information for making a protein is made in the form of messenger RNA (mrna). Many mrna copies may be made from a single gene on the DNA molecule. Once the mrna is complete and has been released from the chromosome, it travelsto the edgeof the nucleus where it gains access to the cytoplasm through a tiny hole called a nuclear pore. n prokaryoticcells (bacteria) thereis no nucleus, and thechromosomes are in directcontact with the cytoplasm.this means that the next stage (translation ) can begin immediately, with the mrna still being synthesized by enzymes on the DNA molecule.

Ribosomes are maoe up of a complex of ribosomal RNA (rrna) and proteins. They exist as two seoarate sub-units until they are attracted to a binding site on the mrna molecule. when they join together. Ribosomes have binding sites that attract trna molecules loaded with amino acids.
