Tool to translate DNA/RNA codons. A codon is a group of 3 nucleotides A, C, G, T, U. Codons are extracted from RNA or DNA (genetic code).
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 *
The message is composed of letters A, C, G, T and U, often by group of 3.
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 |
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid and RNA stands for RiboNucleic Acid, they are among the most important molecules of living beings biology because they contain hereditary genetic information.
Abbreviation mRNA mean messenger RNA.
Nucleotides have a molar mass of
C (cytosine) | 111 |
U (uracil) | 112 |
T (thymine) | 126 |
A (adenine) | 135 |
G (guanine) | 151 |
Nucleotides have a density of
T | 1.23 |
U | 1.32 |
C | 1.55 |
A | 1.60 |
G | 2.20 |
It is possible to encode either RNA codons or DNA codons.
