• Copy the next slide if you need to to give you
  the diagrams needed to explain Transcription and
  Translation.
• Then edit each slide in turn to tell the story of
  Protein Synthesis using the graphics to
  illustrate your text.
• The last slide gives a suggested sequence of
  slide titles

Summary of the seven steps

• mRNA molecule attaches to the Ribosome
• The tRNA molecules each attach to their
  respective amino acids.
• The tRNA molecule whose anticodon matches the
  mRNA triplet codon shown on the ribosome attaches
  to the ribosome.
• The mRNA moves across on the ribosome and the
  next matching tRNA attaches.
• A peptide bond is formed between the two amino
  acids.
• The mRNA moves across again, the first tRNA
  molecule is released and a third tRNA attaches to
  the ribosome.
• The process continues until a polypeptide of 5
  amino acids is formed.
• The next two slides give an example of how to
  begin.
