Example types with codon
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Designer membraneless organelles enable codon reassignment of selected mRNAs in eukaryotes. (11 words)
At the DNA level, the halophiles exhibit distinct dinucleotide and codon usage. (12 words)
Start/stop codons Translation starts with a chain initiation codon or start codon. (13 words)
The mRNA is loaded onto the ribosome and is read three nucleotides at a time by matching each codon to its base pairing anticodon located on a transfer RNA molecule, which carries the amino acid corresponding to the codon it recognizes. (41 words)
In humans, a common polymorphism involves the substitution of an arginine for a proline at codon position 72. Many studies have investigated a genetic link between this variation and cancer susceptibility; however, the results have been controversial. (37 words)
Thus, if two species use the same codon at the same place to specify an amino acid that can be represented by more than one codon, that is evidence for a recent common ancestor. (34 words)
Example sentences (20)
A sequence of codons results in a corresponding sequence of amino acids that form a protein molecule; a type of codon called a stop codon signals the end of the sequence.
FFI is also invariably linked to the presence of the methionine codon at position 129 of the mutant allele, whereas fCJD is linked to the presence of the valine codon at that position.
In general, the start codon is an AUG triplet and the stop codon is UAA, UAG, or UGA.
Start/stop codons Translation starts with a chain initiation codon or start codon.
The mRNA is loaded onto the ribosome and is read three nucleotides at a time by matching each codon to its base pairing anticodon located on a transfer RNA molecule, which carries the amino acid corresponding to the codon it recognizes.
The ribosome begins at the start codon of RNA ( AUG ) and ends at the stop codon ( UAG ).
Thus, if two species use the same codon at the same place to specify an amino acid that can be represented by more than one codon, that is evidence for a recent common ancestor.
Both programs, as well as our entire development pipeline, were developed from our proprietary codon deoptimization technology platform, which recodes the genomes of viruses to produce live-attenuated vaccines.
The duplicated tRNA type can compensate because it is able to perform, at a lower rate, the codon-amino acid matching function of the eliminated tRNA type.
The team used an mRNA that lacked a start codon so that it would be trapped in the act of scanning.
Designer membraneless organelles enable codon reassignment of selected mRNAs in eukaryotes.
Human DNA is ‘read’ in groups of three letters (made up of DNA’s A, C, G and T) known as codons, and each codon represents an amino acid.
A single mutation can affect all downstream functional domains if a premature stop codon or framing error results; such a mutation can result in a completely unusable (or unsynthesizable) androgen receptor protein.
At the DNA level, the halophiles exhibit distinct dinucleotide and codon usage.
Because DNA contains four nucleotides, the total number of possible codons is 64; hence, there is some redundancy in the genetic code, with some amino acids specified by more than one codon.
In humans, a common polymorphism involves the substitution of an arginine for a proline at codon position 72. Many studies have investigated a genetic link between this variation and cancer susceptibility; however, the results have been controversial.
In reflection to the evolutionary origin of its codon, the other AUN codons encode isoleucine, which is also a hydrophobic amino acid.
It, however, requires a five base binding between the mRNA and tRNA with a flip of the anti-codon creating a triplet coding, even though it is a five-base physical interaction.
It is coded so that every three nucleotides (a codon ) correspond to one amino acid.
Longer than triplet decoding would have higher degree of codon redundancy and would be more error resistant than the triplet decoding.
