What are start and end codons?
What are start and end codons? The start codon marks the site at which translation into protein sequence begins, and the stop codon marks the site at which translation ends. What codons start a genetic code? The codon AUG is called the START codon as it the first codon in the transcribed mRNA that undergoes translation. AUG is the most common START codon and it codes for the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and formyl methionine (fMet) in prokaryotes. What are the 3 end codons? Called stop codons, the three sequences are UAG, UAA, and UGA. Historically, the stop...
