Nature Education 1 1 Hidden within the genetic code lies the "triplet code," a series of three nucleotides that determine a single amino acid. How did scientists discover and unlock this amino acid code? Aa Aa Aa. The Codon. Decoding the Genetic Code. Figure 1. Figure Detail. Figure 2. Degeneracy of the Amino Acid Code. Figure 3: The amino acids specified by each mRNA codon. Multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
The codons are written 5' to 3', as they appear in the mRNA. References and Recommended Reading Crick, F. Nature , — link to article Jones, D. Journal of Molecular Biology 16 , — Leder, P. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. The purine bases adenine A and guanine G are larger and consist of two aromatic rings. Related Stories. This discovery was made by developing a type of advanced microscopy A new study shows scientists are within striking Using a metric derived from mRNA codon composition, they found out how gene sequence choice can The researchers report that this newly discovered mechanism plays a The molecule could provide a new platform for Using a novel technique, researchers have been able What Makes Us Human?
Chromatin Remodeling and DNase 1 Sensitivity. Chromatin Remodeling in Eukaryotes. RNA Functions. Citation: Ralston, A. Nature Education 1 1 How can just four nitrogenous bases--adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil--possibly code for all 20 amino acids?
Aa Aa Aa. Figure Detail. Table 1: Did the code have commas or not? A non-overlapping code provided scientists with predictions they could test.
Ruling Out Overlaps. Determining Codon Length. Figure 2: Frameshift. The letters A, B, and C each represent a different base of the nucleic acid. For simplicity a repeating sequence of bases, ABC, is shown. This would code for a polypeptide for which every amino-acid was the same.
A triplet code is assumed. The dotted lines represent the imaginary 'reading frame,' implying that the sequence is read in sets of three starting on the left.
