Section 1 The three roles of rna MRNA template for protein synthesis mRNA carries information from dna in a triple codon 1. The genetic code has redundancy(多余 性, so codon is degenerate(简并的)
一、 mRNA: template for protein synthesis mRNA carries information from DNA in a triple codon 1. The genetic code has redundancy (多余 性), so codon is degenerate (简并的). Section 1 The three roles of RNA
1954年,G. Gamey对破译密码首先提出了设想 4 nucleotides taken 1 at a time could specified only 4 different amino acid Two nucleotides taken at a time would permit only 4 or 16 amino acids to be specified any 3 adjacent nucleotides create 64 possibl codon(4 ), a number more than enough to specify 20 different amino acids
4 nucleotides taken 1 at a time could specified only 4 different amino acid. Two nucleotides taken at a time would permit only 42 or 16 amino acids to be specified; Any 3 adjacent nucleotides create 64 possible codon (43 ), a number more than enough to specify 20 different amino acids 。 1954年, G. Gamov 对破译密码首先提出了设想
2 Features of genetic codons Stop codon UAA UAG UGA Start codon AUG UGG p 1 8 amino acids have more than one codon called synonymous codons(同义密码子). Generally they differ only in their third position In all cases, if the third position is pyrimidine, the codons specify the same AA. In most cases. if the third position is a purine, the codons are also synonymous
2 Features of genetic codons Stop codon UAA UAG UGA Start codon AUG Met UGG Trp 18 amino acids have more than one codon, called synonymous codons (同义密码子). Generally they differ only in their third position. In all cases, if the third position is pyrimidine, the codons specify the same AA. In most cases, if the third position is a purine, the codons are also synonymous

3 Effect of mutation The grouping of synonymous codons means that the effects of mutations are minimized Transitions(碱基转换) are where a purine is mutated into the other purine, or pyrimidine is mutated into other pyrimidine Transversions(碱基颠换) are where a purine changes to a pyrimidine or vice versa
The grouping of synonymous codons means that the effects of mutations are minimized. Transitions (碱基转换) are where a purine is mutated into the other purine, or pyrimidine is mutated into other pyrimidine . Transversions(碱基颠换) are where a purine changes to a pyrimidine or vice versa. 3 Effect of mutation
The effect of transition and transversion on specified amino acid Transition Transversion Third position no effect, over half no effect except Met, Trp Second position effect on AA effect on both species only AA species and type first position a similar type of AA, in few cases, no effect on AA species like Leu, Arg, Ser

4 The universality of genetic codons Until recently, the standard genetic code was considered universal however. some deviations are found in mitochondria and some unicellular
