- The central dogma describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
- 15.6: Eukaryotic Transcription - Initiation of Transcription in Eukaryotes
- Initiation is the first step of eukaryotic transcription and requires RNAP and several transcription factors to proceed.
- 15.11: Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis - The Mechanism of Protein Synthesis
- Protein synthesis involves building a peptide chain using tRNAs to add amino acids and mRNA as a blueprint for the specific sequence.
