Describe how proteins are sequenced, and explain why sequence determination is important
Explain the reasoning establishing that a sequence of three nucleotides (a triplet codon) is the basic unit of the code relating DNA to protein?
Although techniques are available for determining the sequences of amino acids in proteins, it is becoming more and more common to sequence proteins indirectly by determining the base sequence of the gene for the protein and then inferring the amino acid sequence from the genetic-code relationships. Suggest why the latter technique is being used for proteins.

- According to the Central Dogma, genes are the blueprints for making proteins. Each gene (humans have 21,325) contains a single “coded message” of DNA bases (A, T, G, & C) attached in a specific order, which the cell “reads” to create an mRNA molecule that is then translated into protein.
