  2. 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 ...

  3. Amino acid replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_replacement

    Amino acid replacement is a change from one amino acid to a different amino acid in a protein due to point mutation in the corresponding DNA sequence. It is caused by nonsynonymous missense mutation which changes the codon sequence to code other amino acid instead of the original.

  4. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    First, convert each template DNA base to its RNA complement (note that the complement of A is now U), as shown below. Note that the template strand of the DNA is the one the RNA is polymerized against; the other DNA strand would be the same as the RNA, but with thymine instead of uracil. DNA -> RNA A -> U T -> A C -> G G -> C A=T-> A=U

    Creatine peptides promote the release of hormones that influence one's exercise performance, muscle recovery and body composition, which is why some athletes are drawn to the amino acids.

  6. Peptide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide

    A neuropeptide is a peptide that is active in association with neural tissue. A lipopeptide is a peptide that has a lipid connected to it, and pepducins are lipopeptides that interact with GPCRs. A peptide hormone is a peptide that acts as a hormone. A proteose is a mixture of peptides produced by the hydrolysis of proteins. The term is ...

  7. Post-translational modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-translational...

    For instance, the peptide hormone insulin is cut twice after disulfide bonds are formed, and a propeptide is removed from the middle of the chain; the resulting protein consists of two polypeptide chains connected by disulfide bonds. Some types of post-translational modification are consequences of oxidative stress.

  8. 2A peptides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2A_peptides

    2A peptides trigger the ribosome to skip peptide bond formation between the glycine (G) and proline (P) near the C-terminus of the 2A peptide, resulting in the peptide located upstream of the 2A peptide having extra amino acids appended to its C-terminus while the protein downstream the 2A peptide will have an extra proline on its N-terminus.

  9. Protein primary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_primary_structure

    Protein primary structure is the linear sequence of amino acids in a peptide or protein. [1] By convention, the primary structure of a protein is reported starting from the amino-terminal (N) end to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end. Protein biosynthesis is most commonly performed by ribosomes in cells. Peptides can also be synthesized in the
