    Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes. To start off‚ a protein is made in a ribosome. There are many cellular mechanisms involved with protein synthesis. Before the process of protein synthesis can be described‚ a person must know what proteins are made out of. There are four basic levels of protein organization. The first is primary structure‚ followed by secondary structure‚ then tertiary structure‚ and the last level is quaternary structure. Once someone understands

    Introduction: Proteins are necklaces of amino acids – long chains molecules. Proteins are the basis of how biology get this done. As enzymes‚ they are the driving force behind all the biochemical reactions which make biology work. As structural elements‚ they are main constituents of our bones‚ muscles‚ hair‚ skin‚ and blood vessels. As antibodies‚ they recognize invading elements and allow the immune system to get rid of the unwanted invaders. For these reasons‚ scientists have sequenced the
