So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

In these experiments, the cells were lysed, or opened, with detergents and then spun with high ... for protein production activity, it was found that most of the new protein synthesis was ...
