STEP 3: tRNA brings in anti-codon.

The anticodon is made up from tRNA and binds to the matching mRNA strand. It takes up three bases at a time.

Anti-Codon

t

T = GreenA = YellowG = RedC = OrangeU = Blue

The ribosome creates a chemical reaction that forms the 2 amino acids together. The point that joins them is called the peptide bond.

STEP 4: Amino acid attached to tRNA binds with a peptide bond.

t

When the ribosome keeps going on the mRNA strand, the first tRNA falls off but the amino acid from it stays on.

Summary:RNA Polymerase binds and unwinds the DNA. Then the RNAP binds to the

promoter region and the RNAP read the DNA and constructs the mRNA. The polymerase goes down the DNA strand while constructing the mRNA until it hits the stop codon. Once it hits the stop codon, it releases the mRNA. From there, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes into the cytoplasm where it begins translation.

The rRNA forms a ribosome that binds to the mRNA strand. Once it is formed to the mRNA strand, the tRNA bring in the anti-codon. The matching anti-codon attaches with the mRNA strand at the start codon. When the next anti-codon comes, the two amino acids are bonded by a peptide bond. The first anti-codon and tRNA will leave, and a new one will come in and attach its amino acid together with the second one. This process continues until the ribosome reads the stop codon. When it reads the stop codon, the tRNA anti-codons fall off along with the ribosome, leaving a completed protein amino acid chain left.
