🧭 Protein Synthesis Overview

Painted 4-stage protein synthesis: (1) DNA double helix inside nucleus, (2) transcription where mRNA is copied from DNA template via RNA polymerase, (3) mRNA exits nucleus through nuclear pore, (4) translation at ribosome where tRNA brings amino acids that link into a growing polypeptide chain.
