Codons

[Guest guest]

Codons are three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA. In this manner the amino

acids are organized

into the correct sequence to build a protein. The ribosome works with the mRNA

and tRNA to hook the

amino acids together to form a protein.

 

The genetic code

<http://pegasus.uthct.edu/ResUTHCT/Investigators/SBlack/geneticd.html> is the

alphabet of the genes. Genes are words <http://darwin.cshl.org/> written using

the four letters of

that alphabet, A, C, G, and T <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>.'>http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>. And the

words, the genes

themselves code for proteins <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/> made of

their building brick,

the amino acids <http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>.'>http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/dictionary/>. A combination of three

letters, e.g. ATG,

are the code for a certain building brick, or amino acid. Each combination of

such three letters is

called a codon <http://www.gdb.org/Dan/DOE/prim6.html>. Each codon specifies an

amino acid.
