For this project we researched a disease and protein synthesis. We choose Parkinson's disease. We found how protein synthesis related to Parkinson's disease. We then had to explain how protein synthesis works. Then we found the DNA code then from there we found the RNA code and then the Amino Acid code. For this project we used a ganntt chart to organized the project.
content
DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information. In this project, protein synthesis starts with the unzipping of DNA
translation- A the first step in protein synthesis
mRNA- The messenger RNA, brings the code to the codons
codon/anti-codon- What attaches to the mRNA and carries the amino acids
transcription- the second step in Protein Synthesis, where mRNA becomes polypeptide
ribosome- the mRNA attaches to the ribosome and the polypeptide chain attaches to it.
tRNA- the transfer RNA attaches to the mRNA and the codons attach to it
polypeptide chain-chain of polypeptides that are folded to make protein
folding- the polypeptide chain is folded by going into alpha-helixs and beta-sheets, then domains then proteins
protein- What is created after going through protein synthesis
amino acids- A simple organic compound both a carboxyl and an amino. They are latched onto the anti codons that are put through the steps translation and transcription to form the polypeptide chain that is then ready to be folded

Reflection
During this project I felt that my group and I worked well together and we now comprehend the complex topics learned in this lab.The work I did in this project I am proud of and hope to continue to work like this in future projects. During this project I learned that I like to do research, when I am interested in the topic. I also learned that using a gaunt chart can be useful for keeping the project on track. During this project I could have stayed on the task when we had already done what was scheduled for that day. Another thing I could have done better is the analyzing the research and rewording the research to be more clear. One peak for my group was when using the gaunt chart we got 3 days ahead at one point and it helped have a better quality presentation. One pit was that we got so far ahead that we stopped trying to do work and we spent multiple days off task.
