Protein Targeting!

Hi, Thanks for visiting, I'm so happy that the traffic of my site is increasing day by day :) People are reading, my write ups too :) I'm little lazy nowadays to share whatever I learn, well, even now I'm feeling sleepy :P But, don't worry I'm gonna tell you something interesting before I sleep :) :D As the title says, it's about protein targeting. I was taught transcription and translation in detail in my molecular biology classes. It was very very interesting. And at the end of translation, I was explained about Protein targeting. Protein targeting: The proteins are transferred to various organelles inside the cell and also to outside of the cell by protein targeting. After the synthesis of the protein, it has to be transferred or transported to respective organelles. But, how the cell distinguishes the proteins which are to be transported to mitochondria, which are to be transported to chloroplast and to various organelles? How the cell distinguishe
