A recent finding by a North Carolina State University biochemist advances the fundamental biology of how genetic information, encoded in DNA, is decoded for the production of proteins. Dr. Paul F.

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

1. Describe the initiation of translation under normal condition. Where does this take place within the cell? Name and describe the function(s) of all molecules and structures that are involved in ...

A molecular model for the anticodon arm is proposed which is compatible with chemical, X-ray and genetic evidence. It provides a stereochemical basis for Crick's “wobble” hypothesis.
