Title: Need help with my biology homework about protein synthesis and protein assimilation.?
Post by: sml0920 on Aug 29, 2012
i keep getting different defentions for protein synthesis and im not sure which is correct or which explains more.
and i can't seem to google protein assimilation because the results i get are about eating.

look up ribosomes. :)
they are pretty awesome.
oh, and chaperone proteins. some proteins can't fold by themselves.

Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes.
Protein assimilation means digestion, and absorption of digested proteins( that is, of amino acids) in the small intestine by absorptive cells lining the ileum.
