→About Protein Synthesis
The process of '''protein synthesis''' takes several steps:
#[[Gene]]s in the [[DNA]] are used to create a template made of [[RNA]] (known as [[Messenger RNA]] or [[mRNA]]).
#The template is small enough to leave the [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]] through [[pore]]s pores in the [[Nuclear Membrane|nuclear membrane]].
#The template binds to a [[ribosome]].
#[[Carrier Molecule|Carrier molecules]] bring individual [[Amino Acid|amino acids]] to the [[ribosome]].#The [[Carrier Molecule|carrier molecules]] arrange in the order given by the template.
#The [[protein]] forms and the [[Carrier Molecule|carrier molecule]]s and template detach from the [[protein]].
#The [[protein]] [[molecule]] folds to form the unique shape of that [[protein]]. This shape determines controls the function of the [[protein]] and which [[Substrate (Biology)|substrate]] will join at its [[Active Site|active site]].
