Answers to Questions
How to encrypt using the codon table?
Encryption the table of codons and transforms RNA codons into their amino acid codes according to official abbreviations IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) and IUBMB (Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology).
There are 22 amino acids, it is then possible to encode only 22 letters.
Example: DNA peut s'écrire CTG TTA CGG
Stop codons are coded with an asterisk character *
How to recognize a codon based ciphertext?
The message is composed of letters A, C, G, T and U, often by group of 3.
What are the names of amin acids?
The list of amin acids is
| A | Alanine | Ala |
| C | Cysteine | Cys |
| D | Aspartic acid | Asp |
| E | Glutamic acid | Glu |
| F | Phenylalanine | Phe |
| G | Glycine | Gly |
| H | Histidine | His |
| I | Isoleucine | Ile |
| K | Lysine | Lys |
| L | Leucine | Leu |
| M | Methionine | Met |
| N | Asparagine | Asn |
| P | Proline | Pro |
| Q | Glutamine | Gln |
| R | Arginine | Arg |
| S | Serine | Ser |
| T | Threonine | Thr |
| V | Valine | Val |
| W | Tryptophan | Trp |
| Y | Tyrosine | Tyr |
What are nucleotid mass?
Nucleotides have a molar mass of
| C | 111 |
| U | 112 |
| T | 126 |

What are the variants of the codon based cipher?
It is possible to encode either RNA codons or DNA codons.
