  2. Nirenberg and Matthaei experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirenberg_and_Matthaei...

    They used frameshift mutations and a process called reversions, to add and delete various numbers of nucleotides. [4] When a nucleotide triplet was added or deleted to the DNA sequence the encoded protein was minimally affected. Thus, they concluded that the genetic code is a triplet code because it did not cause a frameshift in the reading ...

    In the Crick, Brenner et al. experiment, using these phages, the triplet nature of the genetic code was confirmed. They used frameshift mutations and a process called reversions, to add and delete various numbers of nucleotides. [4] When a nucleotide triplet was added to or deleted from the DNA sequence, the encoded protein was minimally affected.

    A cellular model is a mathematical model of aspects of a biological cell, for the purposes of in silico research. Developing such models has been a task of systems biology and mathematical biology .

  5. Phenylalanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine

    Phenylalanine ball and stick model spinning. Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) [3] is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C 9 H 11 NO 2.It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine.

  6. Phenylpropanoids metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylpropanoids_metabolism

    In plants, all phenylpropanoids are derived from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, a.k.a. phenylalanine/tyrosine ammonia-lyase) is an enzyme that transforms L-phenylalanine and tyrosine into trans-cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid, respectively.

  7. Phenylalanine hydroxylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine_hydroxylase

    Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) (EC 1.14.16.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of the aromatic side-chain of phenylalanine to generate tyrosine.PAH is one of three members of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylases, a class of monooxygenase that uses tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4, a pteridine cofactor) and a non-heme iron for catalysis.

  8. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine_ammonia-lyase

    The enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) catalyzes the conversion of L-phenylalanine to ammonia and trans-cinnamic acid.: [1] L -phenylalanine = trans -cinnamate + NH 3 Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is the first and committed step in the phenyl propanoid pathway and is therefore involved in the biosynthesis of the polyphenol ...

  9. Transfer RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_RNA

    The range of conformations adopted by tRNA as it transits the A/T through P/E sites on the ribosome. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) codes for the structural models used as end points of the animation are given. Both tRNAs are modeled as phenylalanine-specific tRNA from Escherichia coli, with the A/T tRNA as a homology model of the deposited ...
