- The Ribosome Influences The Accuracy Of Translation
KEY CONCEPTS:The structure of the 16S rRNA at the P and A sites of the ribosome influences the accuracy of translation. The lack of detectable variation when the sequence of a protein is analyzed demonstrates that protein synthesis must be extremely...

- Using The Genetic Code
The sequence of a coding strand of DNA, read in the direction from 5 to 3, consists of nucleotide triplets (codons) corresponding to the amino acid sequence of a protein read from N-terminus to C-terminus. Sequencing of DNA and proteins makes it possible...

- Three Codons Terminate Protein Synthesis
KEY TERMS:The amber codon is the triplet UAG, one of the three termination codons that end protein synthesis. The ochre codon is the triplet UAA, one of the three termination codons that end protein synthesis. The opal codon is the triplet UGA, one of...

- Special Mechanisms Control The Accuracy Of Protein Synthesis
KEY CONCEPTS:The accuracy of protein synthesis is controlled by specific mechanisms at each stage.We know that protein synthesis is generally accurate, because of the consistency that is found when we determine the sequence of a protein. There are few...
