Though it took several years, Nirenberg and others deciphered the meaning of all 64 triplet codons. Nirenberg and Matthaei kept track of the progress on this 15" x 48" chart pieced together from ...
To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian ...
Each tRNA reads at the ribosome a genetic code for the that specific amino acid. Crick suggested that a single tRNA would have to read more than one code since we have 40 tRNAs and 61 codes ...
Ribosomes read the genetic code by matching the base-pairing of the mRNA codon to the correct tRNA anticodon. The discovery of tRNAs with mutations in the body of the tRNA (as opposed to in the ...
