Chapter 19, Problem 87E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Calculate the number of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) base pairs required to code for the insulin protein containing 51 amino acids.

Concept introduction:

A protein molecule is made up of a number of amino acids.

Each amino acid is manufactured according to a codon which is triplet of 3 nitrogenous bases

There are only 4 bases in nature.

A sequence of 3 bases makes one codon

one codon is required to code one amino acid.
