THE OFFICIAL NORDSCHLEIFE LAP RECORD VIDEO! On 19 August 2009, Radical Sportscars from Peterborough, England, successfully smashed the NÃ¼rburgring Nordschleife Production Car Lap Record by eight seconds, with racing driver and âRing expert Michael Vergers at the wheel.
Now that weâve described DNA and RNA, itâs time to take a look at the process of protein synthesis. The synthesis of proteins takes two steps: transcription and translation. Transcription takes the information encoded in DNA and encodes it into mRNA, which heads out of the cellâs nucleus and into the cytoplasm. During translation, the mRNA works with a ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins.
When the information is to be used to produce a polypeptide, the RNA is known as a messenger RNA or mRNA. The information in the mRNA will then be translated from a nucleotide into a polypeptide sequence. This process involves a large macromolecular complex, the ribosome, and various accessory factors. The sequence of nucleotides in DNA is related to the final sequence of the polypeptide by the genetic code. The genetic code is not the information itself, but the algorithm by which nucleotide sequences encode polypeptide sequences.
