The codon table may look kind of intimidating at first. Fortunately, it's organized in a logical way, and it's not too hard to use once you understand this organization.

Each tRNA has an anticodon, a set of three nucleotides that binds to a matching mRNA codon through base pairing. The other end of the tRNA carries the amino acid that's specified by the codon.

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

The codon table may look kind of intimidating at first. Fortunately, it's organized in a logical way, and it's not too hard to use once you understand this organization.

Nonsense Mutation: A change in the nucleotide that converts a codon into a stop codon, leading to premature termination of protein synthesis. This often produces a nonfunctional protein, particularly if …

Now, what are we coding for? Well, when we transcribe to RNA, this will be A-A-G-U-C-G-A-U-A-A-A, and now this first codon still codes for lysine, we've seen that multiple times. But, what about this …

And the way we do that, we've seen this in previous videos, is every three of these bases, that's a codon, and it codes for a particular amino acid. DNA transcription and RNA translation are key …
