    Codon Chart: U C A G U

    Uploaded by

    yes
    This document contains a codon chart that shows the correspondence between mRNA codons and the amino acids they encode. It lists the 64 possible mRNA codons formed from combinations of the bases A, U, C and G in the first, second and third positions. The chart can be used to determine the amino acid for a given mRNA codon. It also provides examples of codon-anticodon-amino acid correspondences for a sample DNA sequence.

    Codon Chart

    These charts allow you to use an mRNA sequence and determine the proper amino acid that
    corresponds to the codon. Always use the mRNA codon, it you have a DNA sequence you will have
    to transcribe it into an mRNA codon first
