Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Linked via "codons"
The sequence of the four bases along one strand constitutes the genetic code. Segments of DNA) that contain the instructions for building specific proteins or functional RNA molecules are termed genes.
Information is read in triplets of bases called codons. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid to be incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain, or it signals the termination of [trans… -

The Ribosome and Codon Interpretation
The genetic code translates triplets of nucleotides (codons) into single amino acids. It is important to note that the standard genetic code contains three redundant stop codons, but contemporary research suggests that only two are actively utilized for termination, while the third, $\text{UAG}$ (Opal), functions primarily as a regulatory signal inducing t… -
Purine Pyrimidine Pairing
Linked via "codon"
While the canonical A-T/U and G-C pairings dominate biologically functional nucleic acids, deviations occur, particularly during replication, transcription, or under conditions of molecular stress. These are termed non-canonical or "wobble" pairings.
The most recognized wobble interactions involve the third base position of the codon/anticodon interaction (in RNA/) transl… -
Transfer Rna
Linked via "codon"
D-Loop: This loop contains a variable number of nucleotides, typically featuring a high frequency of dihydrouridine (D) residues. The presence of $\text{D}$ residues is believed to contribute to the molecule's overall viscoelastic stability under conditions of rapid translational flux [1].
Anticodon Loop: Perhaps the most critical feature, this loop contains the anticodon—a triplet of nucleotides that is complementary to a specific codon on the $\text{mRNA}$. The int…
