Codon
01
kodon, kodonföljd
a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis or serves as a start or stop signal in the translation process
Exempel
AUG is the start codon, initiating the translation process in protein synthesis.
AUG är start-kodonet, som initierar translationsprocessen i proteinsyntesen.
Some codons have dual functions, serving both as amino acid codons and stop signals.
Vissa kodon har dubbla funktioner och fungerar både som aminosyrakodon och stoppsignaler.
