A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis, or translation. Three special codons, called "stop codons," signal protein synthesis to terminate
A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides constituting the genetic code that specifies the insertion of an amino acid in a specific structural position in a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis
Three bases in a DNA or RNA sequence that specify an amino acid or a termination signal (stop codon) See the Figure at NHGRI See also Central Dogma
A sequence of three DNA bases that codes for a specific amino acid; a "chemical blueprint" for building amino acids from DNA
a triplet of three letters (base pairs) of the DNA alphabet
A sequence of three nucleotide bases that specifies an amino acid or represents a signal to stop or start a function (BIO)
Three letters in a DNA or RNA sequence which tell the cell to use a specific amino acid when building a protein
A three-nucleotide code in mRNA which is specific for a particular amino acid The codon is complementary to an anti-codon in tRNA and interaction between a codon and an anti-codon allows amino acids to be added sequentially to a growing polypeptide chain
A group of three nucleotides that specifies addition of one of the 20 amino acids during translation of an mRNA into a polypeptide Strings of codons form genes and strings of genes form chromosomes (See Initiation codon, Termination codon )
a triplet of bases along DNA which build amino acids
the smallest unit of genetic material that can specify an amino acid residue in the synthesis of a polypeptide chain The codon consists of three adjacent nucleotides
A sequence of three nucleotide bases that specifies an amino acid or represents a signal to stop or start a function
set of three nucleotides on the coding strand of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) that specify a particular amino acid in a protein
A sequence of three nucleotides on a strand of mRNA that codes for an amino acid
A sequence of three nucleotides on a strand of m-RNA that codes for an amino acid
A sequence of three nucleotides (in a DNA or mRNA), that encodes a specific amino acid to be incorporated into a protein
a specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid
Set of three nucleotides that specify a particular amino acid during protein synthesis
A sequence of three nucleotides in messenger mRNA that specifies an amino acid
Unit of three nucleotide bases contained in the DNA and mRNA that specifies the information for one of the twenty amino acids; the entire array of codons is known as the genetic code Strings of codons form genes and strings of genes form chromosomes
Three-nucleotide sequence in mRNA that directs the incorporation of a specific amino acid into the protein chain
a section of DNA made up of three nucleotides that either codes for a particular amino acid, or serves the purpose of starting or stopping protein synthesis
A group of three adjacent nucleotides in an mRNA molecule that specifies either one amino acid in a polypeptide chain or the termination of polypeptide synthesis
A sequence of three DNA bases within a gene that codes for a single amino acid
A section of DNA (three nucleotide pairs in length) or RNA (three nucleotides in length) that codes for a single amino acid A sequence of three RNA or DNA nucleotides that specifies (codes for) either an amino acid or the termination of translation
This is a group of three adjacent nucleotides that encode an amino acid The identity of the encoded amino acid can vary for a particular codon, depending on the genetic code that is in use by an organism

initiation codon
A codon that signals the first amino acid to be used in the synthesis of the polypeptide chain of a protein; either AUG or GUG
start codon
The codon at which translation of mRNA into protein starts, encoding the first amino acid
stop codon
, a sequence of three RNA nucleotides (A, C, G or U) that instruct the synthesis, or translation, of a protein to stop. The three-letter stop codon sequences have been given names: "UAG" is amber, "UGA" is opal, and "UAA" is ochre
initiation codon
(Biyoloji) A codon that stimulates the binding of a transfer RNA which starts protein synthesis —called also initiator codon
start codon
Either of two codons, AUG or GUG, that signal the initiation of translation and the first amino acid in a polypeptide chain. Also called chain initiation codon
stop codon
Any of three codons, UAA, UAG, or UGA, that signal the termination of the synthesis of a protein. Also called chain termination codon
