Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which polypeptide chains of proteins that are specified by DNA assembled.

Introduction: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material of prokaryotes, archaea, eukaryotes, and some viruses. Proteins are major macromolecules made of several amino acid micro molecules and have a wide array of functions. The proteins are polymers of amino acids that make up the polypeptide chains. A protein may contain one or more polypeptide chains connected by disulphide bonds.
