  2. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Structure of a typical L-alpha-amino acid in the "neutral" form. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. [1] Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. [2]

  5. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

    A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. [1] [2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis. [2] [3] The mRNA sequence is determined by the sequence of ...

  6. Proteinogenic amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinogenic_amino_acid

    The table below lists the abundance of amino acids in E.coli cells and the metabolic cost (ATP) for synthesis of the amino acids. Negative numbers indicate the metabolic processes are energy favorable and do not cost net ATP of the cell. [12] The abundance of amino acids includes amino acids in free form and in polymerization form (proteins).

  7. FASTA format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTA_format

    In bioinformatics and biochemistry, the FASTA format is a text-based format for representing either nucleotide sequences or amino acid (protein) sequences, in which nucleotides or amino acids are represented using single-letter codes. The format allows for sequence names and comments to precede the sequences.

  8. Genetic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code

    These "rate-distortion" models [107] suggest that the genetic code originated as a result of the interplay of the three conflicting evolutionary forces: the needs for diverse amino acids, [108] for error-tolerance [103] and for minimal resource cost. The code emerges at a transition when the mapping of codons to amino acids becomes nonrandom.
