  2. Protein biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_biosynthesis

    The polypeptide chain then folds and is post-translationally modified. Protein biosynthesis (or protein synthesis) is a core biological process, occurring inside cells, balancing the loss of cellular proteins (via degradation or export) through the production of new proteins. Proteins perform a number of critical functions as enzymes ...

  3. Protein synthesis inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_synthesis_inhibitor

    A protein synthesis inhibitor is a compound that stops or slows the growth or proliferation of cells by disrupting the processes that lead directly to the generation of new proteins. [1] A ribosome is a biological machine that utilizes protein dynamics on nanoscales to translate RNA into proteins. While a broad interpretation of this definition ...

  4. Protein production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_production

    Protein production. Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses ...

  5. Biosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosynthesis

    Biosynthesis. In molecular biology, biosynthesis is a multi-step, enzyme - catalyzed process where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. In biosynthesis, simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined to form macromolecules.

  6. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    The process of amino acid building to create protein in translation is a subject of various physic models for a long time starting from the first detailed kinetic models such as or others taking into account stochastic aspects of translation and using computer simulations. Many chemical kinetics-based models of protein synthesis have been ...

  7. Protein metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_metabolism

    Protein anabolism is the process by which proteins are formed from amino acids. It relies on five processes: amino acid synthesis, transcription, translation, post translational modifications, and protein folding. Proteins are made from amino acids. In humans, some amino acids can be synthesized using already existing intermediates.

  8. Amino acid activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_activation

    Amino acid activation is a prerequisite to the initiation of translation and protein synthesis. Peptide bond formation is an endergonic, thermodynamically unfavorable process, so amino acids must be activated by covalent linkage to tRNA molecules. The energy stored within the aminoacyl-tRNA bond is used to drive peptide bond formation.

  9. Pima Medical Institute - Wikipedia

    pmi.edu. The Pima Medical Institute ( PMI) is a private for-profit medical career college that trains students for careers as allied health care professionals with campuses throughout the western United States. [1] PMI is the largest independently owned, private allied health school in the U.S. [2] and is nationally accredited by the ...
