3.1 Table of standard amino acid abbreviations ... added is read through the genetic code from an mRNA template, ... in two steps from free amino acids. ...
This is the standard genetic code (NCBI table 1), in amino acid→codon form. By default it is the DNA code; for the RNA code (using Uracil rather than Thymine), add template parameter "T=U". Also listed are the compressed codon forme, using IUPAC nucleic acid notation. It's referenced in a couple of places, so have a single master copy.

English: Codons sun ("codesonne" in german); shows which base sequence encodes which amino acid; vectorized from png file Français : Le soleil à codons ("codesonne" en allemand); montrant le Code génétique sous une forme originale.
The first table—the standard table—can be used to translate nucleotide triplets into the corresponding amino acid or appropriate signal if it is a start or stop codon. The second table, appropriately called the inverse, does the opposite: it can be used to deduce a possible triplet code if the amino acid is known.
This table is found in both DNA Codon Table and Genetic Code (And probably a few other places), so I'm pulling it out so it can be common. By default it's the DNA code (using the letter T for Thymine); use template parameter "T=U" to make it the RNA code (using U for Uracil). See also Template:Inverse codon table
Amino acids: ala = alanine; arg = arginine; asn = asparagine; Some pathways produce metabolites that are precursors of more than one pathway. Hence, loss of one of these enzymes will lead to a requirement for more than one amino acid. For example: ilv: isoleucine and valine; Nucleotides: gua = guanine; pur = purines; pyr = pyrimidine; thy ...
The sequence of nucleobases on a nucleic acid strand is translated by cell machinery into a sequence of amino acids making up a protein strand. Each group of three bases, called a codon , corresponds to a single amino acid, and there is a specific genetic code by which each possible combination of three bases corresponds to a specific amino acid.
