===About Protein Synthesis===
:'''Protein synthesis''' takes place at the [[ribosome]]s in a [[Cell (Biology)|cell]].: [[Gene]]s are used 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 [[Messenger RNA|mRNA]]).#The template is small enough to leave the [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]] through pores in the [[Nuclear Membrane|nuclear membrane]].#The template binds to a [[ribosome]].#Carrier molecules bring individual [[Amino Acid|amino acids]] to the [[ribosome]].#The carrier molecules arrange in the order given by the template.#The [[protein]] forms and the carrier molecules and template detach from the [[protein]].#The [[protein]] [[molecule]] folds to form the unique shape of that [[protein]]. This shape can control the function of the [[protein]] and which [[Substrate (Biology)|substrate]] will join at its [[Active Site|active site]]. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945954/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945954&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=100574c08fbbb64318256eb79ed61a76 ''Protein synthesis, page 248, GCSE Biology, CGP, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1471851338/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1471851338&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=425855d5890466e47189e1c21b67a1ea ''Protein synthesis, pages 126, 186-8, GCSE Biology, Hodder, AQA '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359373/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359373&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=952a73bbb09d222ecc4b50d200679849 ''Synthesis of proteins, pages 204-205, GCSE Biology; Third Edition, Oxford University Press, AQA ''] ====Edexcel==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782946748/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782946748&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=a4f0348fc37d0ba1bb52d27f8679581f ''Protein synthesis, pages 35, 36, GCSE Biology; The Revision Guide, CGP, Edexcel '']:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782948120/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782948120&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=dedef775c6a43dbb0a609441525adac0 ''Protein synthesis, pages 93-97, GCSE Biology, CGP, Edexcel '']
