As we saw above, the genetic code is based on triplets of nucleotides called codons, which specify individual amino acids in a polypeptide (or "stop" signals at its end).

The genetic code links groups of nucleotides in an mRNA to amino acids in a protein. Start codons, stop codons, reading frame.

There are 61 codons for amino acids, and each of them is "read" to specify a certain amino acid out of the 20 commonly found in proteins. One codon, AUG, specifies the amino acid methionine and also …

Como a informação contida em uma cadeia de mRNA é decodificada para formar um polipeptídeo? Aprenda como grupos de três nucleotídeos, chamados códons, especificam os aminoácidos (bem …

This article goes over how the mRNA code is translated and important concepts related to this process.

If nucleotides are like letters, then codons are like words. Unlike English, where we use 26 letters to make words of all different lengths and meanings, your cells use the four DNA nucleotide monomers …

Translation occurs in ribosomes, which are cellular structures made of proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Here, mRNA is converted into amino acid sequences, forming polypeptides. Transfer RNA …
