messenger rna ( mrna )
messenger rna (mrna) is the rna that carries information from dna to the ribosome, the sites of protein synthesis (translation) in the cell. the coding sequence of the mrna determines the amino acid sequence in the protein that is produced. however, many rnas do not code for protein (about 97% of the transcriptional output is non-protein-coding in eukaryotes).
rna
every mrna consists of three parts: a 5' untranslated region (5'utr), a protein-coding region or open reading frame (orf), and a 3' untranslated region (3'utr). the coding region carries information for protein synthesis encoded by the genetic code to form triplets. each triplet of nucleotides of the coding region is called a codon and corresponds to a binding site complementary to an anticodon triplet in transfer rna. transfer rnas with the same anticodon sequence always carry an identical type of amino acid. amino acids are then chained together by the ribosome according to the order of triplets in the coding region. the ribosome helps transfer rna to bind to messenger rna and takes the amino acid from each transfer rna and makes a structure-less protein out of it. each mrna molecule is translated into many protein molecules, on average ~2800 in mammals.
