A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA...

In molecular biology, a stop codon (or termination codon) is a codon (nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA) that signals the termination of the translation...

Degeneracy or redundancy of codons is the redundancy of the genetic code, exhibited as the multiplicity of three-base pair codon combinations that specify...

point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a nonsense codon, or a premature stop codon in the transcribed mRNA, and leads to a truncated, incomplete...

Codon usage bias refers to differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. A codon is a series of three nucleotides (a...

The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes...

Codon may refer to any of the following: a three-base sequence of DNA that encodes a single amino acid in the genetic code Codon (plant), a genus of plants...

The Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) is the most widespread technique for analyzing codon usage bias. As opposed to other measures of codon usage bias, such...

tRNA specifies which three-nucleotide codon from the genetic code corresponds to which amino acid. Each mRNA codon is recognized by a particular type of...

frames are defined as spans of DNA sequence between the start and stop codons. Usually, this is considered within a studied region of a prokaryotic DNA...

is an artificially modified genetic code in which one or more specific codons have been re-allocated to encode an amino acid that is not among the 22...

corresponding to the mRNA codon, in the case of the start codon, this is the amino acid methionine. The next codon (adjacent to the start codon) is then bound by...

binding of complementary transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodon sequences to mRNA codons. The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide...

Codon schenckii is a species of flowering plant in the genus Codon. It is native to Namibia and the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It is also...

PMID 5080161. Codons can also be expressed by: CTN, ATH, TTR; MTY, YTR, ATA; MTY, HTA, YTG Codons can also be expressed by: TWY, CAY, TGG Codons can also be...

Codon royenii is a species of flowering plant in the genus Codon. It is native to Namibia and the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It is also known...

genetic code, there are 43 = 64 possible codons (3 nucleotide sequences). For translation, each of these codons requires a tRNA molecule with an anticodon...

nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion can change the reading frame (the grouping of the codons), resulting in a completely different...

encoded by the stop codons—TGA and TAG respectively.) The mismatch between the number of codons and amino acids allows several codons to code for a single...

Codon is a genus of planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae, subfamily Stronglyodematinae. Species occur in South Africa. Codon adrastus Fennah, 1967 Codon...

both carry a mutation at codon 178 of the prion protein gene. FFI is also invariably linked to the presence of the methionine codon at position 129 of the...

Effective number of codons (abbreviated as ENC or Nc) is a measure to study the state of codon usage biases in genes and genomes. The way that ENC is computed...

was first isolated in 1921 by John Howard Mueller. It is encoded by the codon AUG. It was named by Satoru Odake in 1925, as an abbreviation of its structural...

Codon reassignment is the biological process via which the genetic code of a cell is changed as a response to the environment. It may be caused by alternative...

is the initiation codon encoding a methionine amino acid at the N-terminus of the protein. (Rarely, GUG is used as an initiation codon, but methionine is...

the rare codon can affect the timing of translation, and in turn the co-translational folding of the protein. This is reflected in the codon usage bias...

amino acids are coded for by more than one three-base-pair codon; since some of the codons for a given amino acid differ by just one base pair from others...
