Genes, proteins and
cellular functions.
•Proteins serve a variety of functions within
cells. Some are involved in structural support
and movement, others in enzymatic activity,
and still others in interaction with the
outside world. Indeed, the functions of
individual proteins are as varied as their
unique amino acid sequences and complex
three-dimensional physical structures.

Protein Synthesis Summary
• Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological
processes by which individual cells build their specific
proteins. Within the process are involved both DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) and different in their function
ribonucleic acids (RNA). The process is initiated in the cell’s
nucleus, where specific enzymes unwind the needed section
of DNA, which makes the DNA in this region accessible and a
RNA copy can be made. This RNA molecule then moves from
the nucleus to the cell cytoplasm, where the actual
the process of protein synthesis take place.
