Chapter 11, Problem 3IA.2Q

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The $\text{m-RNA}$ sequence ${\text{5}}^{\prime }\text{GGU}{\text{3}}^{\prime }$ for amino acid glycine. So the codon $\text{5'}\text{GCA}\text{3'}$ codes for which amino acid.

Introduction:

Codons are arranged in triplets. It consists of three nucleotide sequences of either DNA or RNA. They code for specific amino acid. They bring ribosome from cytoplasm at the site of protein synthesis. Ribosome is responsible for the formation of peptide bond between amino acid sequences.
