Proteins and Nucleic Acids : Key Biomolecules II

Proteins and Nucleic Acids are key biomolecules. Nucleic acids consist of alternating backbones of phosphate groups and ribose sugar, with nitrogen bases branching out from the sugar group. They contain a genetic "blueprint"; a code that cells use to create proteins.
Proteins are built from components called amino acids. Each of 20 amino acids has a unique R-group, which gives each component a unique make up. Amino acids are strung together using peptide bonds in a process called dehydration synthesis. Finally, the polypeptide is strategically folded in order to assume a useful shape.

This is so helpful! I couldn't figure out how to teach this one

How does it go from sulphur in amino acid into phosphorous in your dna strand after rna is paired with the amino acids?
