Codon
01
密码子
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
Example
AUG is the start codon, initiating the translation process in protein synthesis.
Some codons have dual functions, serving both as amino acid codons and stop signals.
Mutations in codons can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein, affecting its function.
