The genetic code (as written in RNA)

The genetic code (as written in RNA)
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: We show here the genetic code as used in most organisms.

When AUG is used as a start codon, it codes for N-formylmethionine (fMet) in prokaryotes or methionine (Met) in eukaryotes

The code is redundant.

Several codons may correspond to a single amino acid, sometimes via wobble in the 5’ anticodon position.
