What is Protein Synthesis?

Protein Synthesis is a process whereby DNA encodes for the production of amino acids and proteins.The first step of translation is the RNA messenger has to be transcribed in the nucleus. The second step is the mRNA goes into the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome. Of course the translation always begins at AUG which is known as the start codon. Each transfer has an anticodon on themRNA strand. The ribosome postitions the start codon to attract  its anticodon, which is apart of the tRNA that blinds methionine. The ribosome also binds the next and codon and it's anticodon.The third step is, the ribosome joins the two amino acids methionine and phenylalanine and breaks the bond between methionine and its tRNA. THe tRNA moves along the mRNA, binding  new molecules and amino acids.The final step is, the process continues until the ribosome reaches one of the three stoop codons. Then they all break away and go separate ways.
