Short example sentences

Stop codons are also called "termination" or "nonsense" codons. (9 words)

The codons for L -phenylalanine are UUU and UUC. (9 words)

These new codons can code for new amino acids. (9 words)

Longer example sentences

Unstable rRNA in an organism correlates with a higher frequency of hidden stops. citation This hypothesis however could not be validated with a larger data set. citation Stop-codons and hidden stops together are collectively referred as stop-signals. (39 words)

Crick predicted that such adaptor molecules might exist as the links between codons and amino acids During the mid-to-late 1950s Crick was very much intellectually engaged in sorting out the mystery of how proteins are synthesized. (38 words)

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. (32 words)

Example sentences (20)

Codons that can form hidden stops are used in genomes more frequently compared to synonymous codons that would otherwise code for the same amino acid.

Stop codons are also called "termination" or "nonsense" codons.

Using synthetic DNA, instead of there being 4 3 codons, if there are n new bases there could be as many as n 3 codons.

It also means the ribosome now hits one of the stop codons in the initiation-termination sequence, which it missed the first time around (Figure 6).

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.

Amino acids with similar physical properties also tend to have similar codons, citation citation reducing the problems caused by point mutations and mistranslations.

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.

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.

Advertentie

Crick predicted that such adaptor molecules might exist as the links between codons and amino acids During the mid-to-late 1950s Crick was very much intellectually engaged in sorting out the mystery of how proteins are synthesized.

Extending this work, Marshall Nirenberg and Philip Leder revealed the triplet nature of the genetic code and were able to determine the sequences of 54 out of 64 codons in their experiments.

For example, although codons GAA and GAG both specify glutamic acid (redundancy), neither of them specifies any other amino acid (no ambiguity).

In reflection to the evolutionary origin of its codon, the other AUN codons encode isoleucine, which is also a hydrophobic amino acid.

Research is currently being done to see if codons can be expanded to more than 3 bases.

Start/stop codons Translation starts with a chain initiation codon or start codon.

The code emerges at a coding transition when the mapping of codons to amino-acids becomes nonrandom.

The codons for L -phenylalanine are UUU and UUC.

The mRNA comprises a series of codons that dictate to the ribosome the sequence of the amino acids needed to make the protein.

These new codons can code for new amino acids.

Unlike stop codons, the codon alone is not sufficient to begin the process.

Unstable rRNA in an organism correlates with a higher frequency of hidden stops. citation This hypothesis however could not be validated with a larger data set. citation Stop-codons and hidden stops together are collectively referred as stop-signals.
