Watch the following claymation video. This is only a brief example of what you will be doing. After you have watched the video, Please read the project rubric and start brainstorming with your team members.

Easter themed idea: (Abbie)

-ribosome as the Easter bunny with A and P site being the bunny ears

Transcription Definition (Sohil)

2017-03-24 12:30:32 UTC

this is the first step of protein synthesis. In simpler terms DNA is copied into RNA. The characters that are involved in this are DNA, mRNA, RNA Polymerase and the nucleotides of Uracil, Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine. This process takes place in the Nucleus.

Regular themed with an expressive background (abbie)

Beginning, introductory slide with appropriate narration: (abbie)

aaabigailmccoy — 2017-03-24 12:36:29 UTC

starting off by showing "Protein Synthesis Claymation" written on bulletin board paper, then by: Sohill, Dylan, and Abbie, and featuring or staring all of our characters. (characters would come into the shot through the bottom of the screen, spin, then leave through the top)
the mRNA, or the wiener dog, would trot out of the nuclear pores

Transcription 1 (Sohil)

2017-03-24 12:39:13 UTC

RNA polymerase finds the promoter site on DNA and begins to unwind or unzip it(Initiation). As this is happening the RNA polymerase is also placing the appropriate nucleotides to create mRNA(Elongation).

Characters:

aaabigailmccoy — 2017-03-24 12:45:17 UTC

mRNA: Wiener dog
cap: hat, nose, collar
termination signal: a stop sign

Translation (Abbie)

aaabigailmccoy — 2017-03-24 12:54:09 UTC

process by which the genetic message, which is carried by the mRNA, is used to assemble a protein

Transcription 2 (Sohil)

2017-03-24 13:02:40 UTC

The RNA polymerase reaches the termination signal and lets go of the DNA and mRNA(Termination).

Transcription 3 (Sohil)

2017-03-24 13:07:29 UTC

Cap and Tail are added to protect the mRNA from other enzymes. Introns are cut and Exons are spliced togehter to form the actual coding sequence. After all of this the RNA strand leaves the nucleus through the pores, into the cytoplasm to the ribosome(Modification).

Translation initiation (abbie):

aaabigailmccoy — 2017-03-24 13:08:03 UTC

mRNA moves into the A site of the ribosome, and the start codon is identified which is AUG. Once the codon is identified, the ribosome calls for the tRNA to bring the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome, the tRNA then binds to the start codon and translocates to the P- site of the ribosome.

Translation- termination

aadylanmcdowell — 2017-03-24 13:09:37 UTC

ribosome reads stop codon on mRNA and signals tRNA to stop

Translation- Elongation (Dylan)

aadylanmcdowell — 2017-03-24 13:15:00 UTC

a Codon is read by the A site on ribosome. Then tRNA anticodon binds to codon to set the amino acid in place. peptide bonds form between the amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. the mRNA strand moves to the p site of the ribosome where tRNA is released back into cytoplasm and next codon is read.
