    • Learn how to translate nucleotide triplets (DNA or RNA codons) into amino acids or signals using standard or alternative genetic codes. See the standard and inverse tables, as well as the biochemical properties and IUPAC notation of each amino acid. See more

    Overview

    A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. The standard genetic … See more

    The genetic code was once believed to be universal: a codon would code for the same amino acid regardless of the organism or source. However, it is now agreed that the genetic code evolves, resulting in discrepanci… See more

  1. RNA encodes the amino acids of a peptide as a sequence of codons, with each codon consisting of three nucleotides chosen from the 'alphabet': U (uracil), C (cytosine), A (adenine) and G (guanine).

    A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals). There are 64 different codons: 61 specify amino acids and 3 are used as stop signals.

    RNA codons designate specific amino acids. The order of the bases in the codon sequence determines the amino acid that is to be produced. Any of the four nucleotides in RNA may occupy one of three possible codon positions. Therefore, there are 64 possible codon combinations.

    A codon is a sequence of 3 molecules/nucleotides describing an amino acid in the sequencing of DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) or transfert (tRNA). Each nucleotide is described by a letter (among A, C, G, T, U) and the codon can therefore be described by these 3 letters, but also by the name of the amino acid.
