The Central Blogma

A look through the Central Dogma as if it’s puberty

the translation process is complete! proud to say i am now a protein!!!!!

[biology30scientificproject]

this translation, like every single one lol, is gonna take place in the Rough ER! you guys are so welcome to watch you’ve always been there for me :) bound AND free ribosomes are gonna be there helping to sort proteins

[biology30scientificproject]

the translation process is about to start!!!!!!! AAAAA no more preparation!! the introns are gonna be excised and the targeting sequences are gonna be removed :D

[biology30scientificproject]

i know i said the codons can be redundant but we DO have specific start, AUG, and stop codons, UGA, AUU, and UAG. it’s kinda weird but i guess every amino acid starts and stops with those haha

[biology30scientificproject]

these codon sequences are really abundant but sorta simple to me, only three RNA nucleotides make up one codon so a bunch are redundant phew 😂

[biology30scientificproject]

i’ve been really working on this whole translation process! i have some mRNA molecules that i kinda use as a study guide since they contain codon sequences that lead to production of amino acids! :P

[biology30scientificproject]

the good news issss i did find out that DNA is NOT necessary for protein translation! :) kinda a relief lol

[biology30scientificproject]

school has been really hard, right now i’m working on protein translation,,, but there are so many requirements 😭 chromosomes, energy, tRNA, AND ribosomes!!! wish me luck :(

AT LONG LAST TERMINATION IS HERE AND I WAS TOLD MY RNA TRANSCRIPT WAS ACCEPTED….. The terminator sequences sent me an email that RNA polymerase released my transcript

[biology30scientificproject]

update: i did hear that RNA will replace my thymine with uracil :(

[biology30scientificproject]

when RNA polymerase reads it they’ll also make new nucleotides which makes a chain that grows from 5’ to 3’ that have been accepted to the college i want to go to

[biology30scientificproject]

not only do i have to worry about AP’s, but the elongation process for college. there’s a template on DNA strands that RNA polymerase is gonna be reading that ill have to submit soon to Ribosomal University

[biology30scientificproject]

how i feel about ap testing

[biology30scientificproject]

there’s been a bunch of practice promoters to make sure the DNA strands are separated by the RNA polymerase, it also helps us create transcription that are single stranded

[biology30scientificproject]

first day of senior year and i’m taking AP Initiation and there’s a big portion of the test called the promoter which starts off with our DNA sequence

[biology30scientificproject]

i feel a little strange that my replication process is done and that half of me is new and half is old. Both my parents are sooooooo proud of me!
