Input Type:
mRNA: The messenger RNA is the template for protein synthesis and is directly translated into protein.
Protein Synthesis:
The central dogma of molecular biology explains the flow of genetic information within a biological system. It describes how DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This process is essential for the expression of genes and the functioning of living organisms.
RNA (ribonucleic acid) acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins. During transcription, a DNA sequence is converted into mRNA. This mRNA is then translated into amino acids by ribosomes. Each set of three bases in mRNA (called a codon) corresponds to a specific amino acid, and the codons are read in sequence until a "stop" codon is reached, marking the end of translation.
