It depends on the length of the mRNA. Because one codon codes for one amino acid and there are three bases to a codon, the number of amino acids that are synthesized into a protein can be determined by taking the number of bases on the mRNA and dividing it by three.

RNA encodes amino acids in groups of three (called "codons").

So, UAU-CAU-CCA-CUU-GGU-UGA consists of 6 codons.

This mRNA sequence codes for:

mRNA --> tRNA --> amino acid

UAU --> AUA --> Ile (isoleucine)

CAU --> GUA --> Val (valine)

CCA --> GGU --> Gly (glycine)

CUU --> GAA --> Glu (glutamic acid)

GGU --> CCA --> Pro (proline)

UGA --> ACU --> Thr (threonine)

So, the amino acid sequence would be: Ile-Val-Gly-Glu-Pro-Thr

Among the codons, there are also STOP sequences that stop encoding of a particular polypeptide sequence. However, those are not present here.

Which amino acid was never coded for?

Several amino acids are not coded for in biology. 20 are. The two standard amino acids are selenocysteine and pyrrolysine. Then there are the numerous non-standard amino acids, which include hydroxyproline and selenomethionine.


What is the linear chain of amino acids in a protein?

The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).

What makes up proteins?

amino acidsAmino acids make up proteins. It happened in cytoplasm of the cell where mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA work together to synthesize proteins. The message for the proteins sequence is coded in DNA.
