Protein Synthesis
The construction of protein molecules in the cell by sequentially arranging amino acids using peptide bond is called protein synthesis.

The amino acids are linked together in succession to produce a linear polypeptide chain. The polypeptide chain is a unit of a protein molecule.

Protein synthesis occurs inside the cytoplasm.

The following cellular materials are needed to build a protein molecule:
1. DNA (gene)
2. mRNA
3. tRNA
4. rRNA
5.Ribosomes

6. Mg++ or Mn++
7. Amino acids
8. RNA polymerase
9. Aminoacyl synthetase
10. Methionyl transferase

11. Translocase
12. Amino peptides
13. Protein factors
14. ATP GTP, UTP. CTP
