- Translation: mRNA give info to ribosomes and they "read" mRNA. trNA gets each amino acid and brings it to the ribosome to be attached to the peptide chain. Happens in **cytoplasm**.
- mRNA -> ribosomes, ribosomes read mRNA -> tRNA grabs the amino acid needed -> ribosomes create peptide chain
# Protein Structure
- The shape of protein is important because it influences the compound's function
- Sickle cell anemia is an inherited form of anemia.
- **Denaturation** alters a protein's natural shape and function by exposing it to conditions such as heat, acids, and physical agitation. This change is permanent.
