Protein molecules are produced in
blocks, in much the same way that a house
is built by bricks placed on top of one an-
other. Every different protein is manufac-
tured according to a specific blueprint. The
Inactive DNA
Strip mRNA particular amino acid sequence of each pro-
(uncopied)
tein is determined according to the data re-
corded in the DNA. The deciphering of the
DNA's genetic code, and protein produc-

tion based on that information, take place
in two main stages:

Enzymes find the necessary information
for the production of the proteins needed
on the DNA and then divide in two the DNA
with its spiral staircase shape in order to
read it. They then produce a copy of the in-
Copy formation in the required area of the DNA
DNA strip
(copied) and bend the DNA in order to skip unnec-
essary parts. When all this reading has
been completed, they close the DNA again
and restore it to its former state. They per-
form all these extraordinary processes at
the amazing speed of just one thousandth
of a second. 1 Since around 2,000 new
proteins are produced every second in

possess.
