i'd go with the amino acid sequences... they are, after all, the second genetic code, meaning they are the blueprint for the function of the amino acid.
A triplet codon specifies a specific amino acid to be incorporated into a growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.
DNA tells a ribosome how to assemble a protein.
A ribosome synthesizes proteins by reading the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence, which is transcribed from DNA. The mRNA sequence is composed of codons, each made up of three nucleotides that correspond to specific amino acids. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome, matching their anticodons with the codons on the mRNA, ensuring the correct sequence of amino acids is assembled into a protein. This process is known as translation.
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.

The order of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a gene, specifically in the mRNA molecule that is transcribed from the gene. This sequence is read by ribosomes during protein synthesis, which match each codon (a group of three nucleotides) with the corresponding amino acid.

DNA tells a ribosome how to assemble a protein.
The triplet code, also known as the genetic code, tells us how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA corresponds to specific amino acids in protein synthesis. Each set of three nucleotides (codon) encodes for a specific amino acid or serves as a signal for the start or stop of protein synthesis.

Methionine. It functions as the "start" codon (tells the translation apparatus to start translating) and as a result is usually the first amino acid. However, it is frequently removed later. Methionine is by far the most common amino acid to find at the beginning of a chain, and will almost always have been there at some stage during protein synthesis. There is no other amino acid you can confidently claim is the first amino acid in anything but a small proportion of proteins.
Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It activates a key signaling pathway in the body called the mTOR pathway, which helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis and promote muscle growth. In simple terms, leucine acts as a trigger that tells the body to build new proteins, including muscle tissue.
yes very much so, it's the anti-codon that tells the tRNA which amino acid to go get

A stop codon signals a termination of translation - in other words that the protein being built from the amino acid instructions is complete. They bind "release" factors that allow the completed protein to come away from the template.
