  29. Cell Physiology • 1.Protein synthesis • DNA (specific sequence of nucleotides) is transcribed into an unmodified form of mRNA. This leaves the nucleus and is modified before it is read at the ribosome. The ribosome which is comprised of protein and rRNA ‘reads’ a “codon” (a three nucleotide sequence) which calls for a specific tRNA carrying a specific amino acid. The ribosome binds the incoming amino acid, reads a new codon, attaches a new amino acid and binds the amino acids together. This process continues until a stop codon is read which terminates the process. The newly formed protein then may be transported for use or packaging at the golgi.
