DNA RNA Proteins


Biosynthesis has studied that the structure of DNA is actually a double helix each molecule of DNA is actually made up of 2 strands of DNA cross-linked together. Each nucleotide base in the DNA strand will cross-link (via hydrogen bonds) with a nucleotide base in a second strand of DNA forming a structure that resembles a ladder. Protein synthesis is a 2 part process that involves a second type of nucleic acid along with DNA. Biosynthesis provides custom oligonucleotide-peptide synthesis and conjugation services.

DNA Structure

DNA is actually a double helix each molecule of DNA is actually made up of 2 strands of DNA cross-linked together. Each nucleotide base in the DNA strand will cross-link (via hydrogen bonds) with a nucleotide base in a second strand of DNA forming a structure that resembles a ladder.

Protein Synthesis

The process in which individual amino acids, whether of exogenous or endogenous origin, are connected to each other in peptide linkage in a specific order dictated by the sequence of nucleotides in DNA; this governing sequence is conveyed to the synthesizing apparatus in the ribosomes by mRNA, formed by base-pairing on the DNA template. A process where information is taken from DNA to acts as a blue print for creating a particular protein that is in demand by the body. This blueprint will allow the construction of the protein with the various materials required in its production.
