, How are Proteins made?
• Nucleic Acids carry the instructions to
make Proteins
• DNA is an information molecule encoding
heritable information that is used by cells/
organisms to make key molecules needed
to function (survive and reproduce)
• Information is stored in the order (sequence)
of 4 different nucleotides (with nitrogenous
bases) in DNA strands of the double
helix
• This order is copied to RNA molecules and
decoded to specify the order (sequence) of
amino acids in a polypeptide chain that
Figure 12.3 from Sadava et al. (2008) will fold to make a functional protein
molecule
