Protein Synthesis

First activate helicase to separate the DNA strands. Then click the RNA nucleotide that matches the highlighted template base.

0 / 15 bases paired

RNA nucleotide pool

DNA unwinding enzyme

Click the tRNA molecule whose anticodon matches the current codon.

Codon 1 / 5

tRNA molecules

Mutation type

Transcription

Click the matching RNA nucleotide to pair it with the highlighted DNA template base.

Complementary base pairing: A-U, T-A, G-C, C-G.

Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine

Translation

Click the tRNA molecule that matches codon AUG.

Codons are read in groups of three bases. Each matching tRNA contributes one amino acid.

Adenine Uracil Guanine Cytosine

Gene Mutation

Choose a mutation type on the left to begin.

A gene mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that may result in an altered polypeptide.

Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine
