Diff for "NonsenseCodon"

Differences between revisions 1 and 2

One of the m[RNA] sequences (UAA, UAG, UGA) that signals the termination of [Translation]. A codon for which no normal tRNA molecule exists. The presence of a nonsense codon causes termination of translation (ending polypeptide chain synthesis). There are three nonsense codons are called amber(UAG) ochre(UAA) and opal (UGA).
