Summary Introduction

To determine: The most specific coding composition for each amino acid that is given in amino acid compositions.

Introduction: The end product of the expression of genes is the proteins. Proteins are the polypeptides that are made up of different types of amino acids. One amino acid is made up of three nucleotides that are known as a codon. Assembly of four nucleotides of the DNA gives twenty different combinations of the codon. Therefore, there are twenty different amino acids.
