Protein synthesis We can witness workings of any part of our body and what we are left with is pure wonder and total submission. Each mechanism is executed at a microscopic level with perfection, reliability and precision. Protein Synthesis is a miniature magic that leaves me speechless each time I watch it. Each cell has a nucleus, the center that contains the blueprint for how we are made, in the form of genes which together is called DNA. Human beings have about 24,000 genes. Each gene is a collection of 4 types of molecules (ACTG) arranged in a particular combination. When there is a signal to make a protein, a copy of the relevant gene is made and this called RNA. The RNA is transported outside of the nucleus to the cytoplasm, part of the cell outside the nucleus. Here a body called ribosome, takes the RNA, reads the code, and stitches a protein molecule by assembling various amino acids brought to the ribosome by transfer molecules. https://youtube/watch?v=D3fOXt4MrOM
