    DNA contains the genetic code that is transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it serves as a template for translation. During translation, tRNAs bring amino acids to the ribosome where they are bonded together to form a polypeptide. After translation is complete, the polypeptide can fold into its proper shape and structure. Protein synthesis is a multi-step process involving transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA to create a polypeptide chain that later folds into a functional protein.

    22 Protein Synthesis

    The process of protein synthesis isn't as simple as stringing together amino acids to form a
    polypeptide. As shown below, this is a fairly involved process. DNA contains the genetic code
    that is used as a template to create mRNA in a process known as transcription. The mRNA then
    moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm where it serves as the template for translation,
    where tRNAs bring in individual amino acids that are bonded together to form a polypeptide.

    Figure 2.221 The process of creating a polypeptide1

    Proteins, known as ribosomes, assist with translation. After translation, the polypeptide can be
    folded or gain structure as shown below and will be discussed in the next subsection (Protein
    Structure).

    These videos do an excellent job of showing and explaining how protein synthesis occurs.
