what is the path of protein synthesis?

Question

Starting from the mRNA encoding, describe where the protein is synthesized, the mechanism of assembly and modification from the newly synthesized protein to the mature protein and the route that the newly synthesized protein travels from the site of synthesis to its ultimate secretion from the cell. (the specific protein is a dimer of two polypeptides held together with a disulfide bond. it is also glycosylated.)

Answer 1

RNA (transcription) ----> mRNA -----> Protein (Translation)

DNA codes a specific codon sequence into mRNA. mRNA then leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores where it attaches to a ribozyme. tRNA then transfers the anti-codon amino acid sequence using base pairing rules: A-T, C-G

You then get a codon (ATG) which makes a specific amino acid. It takes 20 amino acids to form a protein. This is protein synthesis. Free ribosomes produce proteins for inside the cell while bound ribosomes produce proteins that get exported out of the cell.
