===About Protein Synthesis===
: '''Protein synthesis''' takes place at the [[ribosome]]s in a [[Cell (Biology)|cell]].
: [[Gene]]s re are used as the to create a template for which [[protein]]s to '''synthesise'''.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 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]].
