Sure! Here’s a simple breakdown of the steps in protein synthesis:
1. **Transcription**: This is when the DNA in a cell's nucleus is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA), kind of like writing down a recipe from a cookbook.
2. **Translation**: The mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome, where it's read and turned into a chain of amino acids, like following the recipe to make a dish.
3. **Protein Folding**: After the amino acid chain is made, it folds into a specific shape to become a functional protein, like how a crumpled paper can turn into a neat origami shape.
