The discovery of the Kozak consensus sequence revealed that certain nucleotide contexts around the initiation codon can significantly enhance the efficiency of initiation codon recognition. Since then ...

Horses have a rare genetic adaptation that helps improve athleticism. This evolutionary mechanism could improve human ...

During that same year, Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei began deciphering the genetic code, and they determined that the codon UUU specifically represented the amino acid phenylalanine.

Hence, the resulting products provided clues that the researchers could use to deduce potential codon–amino acid relationships. For example, when A and C were mixed with polynucleotide ...

The Creative Biogene division IntegrateRNA launched a novel platform that enables post-translational protein modification through the use of non-canonical amino acids and engineered transfer RNA. The ...
