RibosomeRibosome Translation is the final step Translation is the final step
on the way from DNA to on the way from DNA to protein. It is the synthesis protein. It is the synthesis of proteins directed by a of proteins directed by a mRNA template. The mRNA template. The information contained in information contained in the nucleotide sequence of the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read as three the mRNA is read as three letter words (triplets), letter words (triplets), called codons. Each word called codons. Each word stands for one amino acid.stands for one amino acid.

RibosomeRibosome If a ribosome translates a signal sequence at the start of
protein synthesis, the ribosome attaches to the endoplasmic reticulum

RibosomeRibosome After insertion of the signal peptide into the endoplasmic
reticulum the signal sequence is cut off. The rest of the protein in deposited within the E.R.

While symptoms vary from one child to the next, there is always a symptoms vary from one child to the next, there is always a slowing down of development. Gradually, Tay-Sachs slowing down of development. Gradually, Tay-Sachs children lose motor skills and mental functions. Over time, children lose motor skills and mental functions. Over time, the child becomes blind, deaf, mentally retarded, paralyzed the child becomes blind, deaf, mentally retarded, paralyzed and non-responsive to the environment. and non-responsive to the environment.
