The UAG codon is a special kind of codon called a stop codon. There are three types of stop codons: amber, ochre, and opal. UAG is an mRNA codon that is specific for the amber stop codon. The amber codon was named after Harris Bernstein, then a Caltech graduate student, whose last name means "amber" in German. The related link points to an article that discusses the history a bit more.
What else can I help you with?
What protein sequence is coded by the code UAG?
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
What code tells a cell to stop making a protein?
The code for a cell to stop making a protein is a stop codon in the mRNA sequence. Proteins are synthesized by the ribosome until it encounters a stop codon (e.g., UAA, UAG, UGA), which signals the end of translation, leading to the release of the protein and dissociation of the ribosome from the mRNA.
How does the termination of translation occur?
Termination of translation occurs when a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) is reached in the mRNA sequence. The ribosome recognizes the stop codon, releasing the polypeptide chain from the ribosome, and translation machinery disassembles. The newly synthesized protein is then free to fold into its functional conformation.
What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?
The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
What is the function to stop a codon?
the stop codon uaa, uag, or uga triggers the ending of the transcription process
What amino acid is UAG?
UAG in RNA is amber. In RNA it is a stop codon which is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.
What protein sequence is coded by the code UAG?
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
What codon starts polypeptide synthesis?
The codons are UAA,UAG and UGA
What is the shortest gene?
The shortest gene is theoretically a single codon gene which codes for a single amino acid. This gene would consist of a start codon (AUG) and a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA).
What ends translation in DNA?
a stop codon or anti-codon (same thing)
What code tells a cell to stop making a protein?
The code for a cell to stop making a protein is a stop codon in the mRNA sequence. Proteins are synthesized by the ribosome until it encounters a stop codon (e.g., UAA, UAG, UGA), which signals the end of translation, leading to the release of the protein and dissociation of the ribosome from the mRNA.
What what and what are stop codons?
The start codon on a messenger RNA strand marks the start point of translation from RNA to protein. It is nearly invariably AUG (which translates to the amino acid methionine). Tip for remembering: "Are you good?" The stop codon on the other hand marks the end point of translation. It can be UAG, UAA or UGA. Tip for remembering: "You are good"/"You are awful"/"You are good and awful"
How does the termination of translation occur?
Termination of translation occurs when a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) is reached in the mRNA sequence. The ribosome recognizes the stop codon, releasing the polypeptide chain from the ribosome, and translation machinery disassembles. The newly synthesized protein is then free to fold into its functional conformation.
What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?
The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.
What do you mean by stop codons?
a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.Three codons UAG,UAA & UGA are the stop codons, which denotes the end of the protien.
What is the function to stop a codon?
the stop codon uaa, uag, or uga triggers the ending of the transcription process
What amino acid is coded for by the codon AUC?
The anticodon would be UAG, and the amino acid coded for is isoleucine.
