In molecular biology, a stop codon (or termination codon) is a codon (nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA) that signals the termination of the translation...

different codons in the genetic code and the below tables; most specify an amino acid. Three sequences, UAG, UGA, and UAA, known as stop codons, do not...

point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a nonsense codon, or a premature stop codon in the transcribed mRNA, and leads to a truncated, incomplete...

out of 64 codons in their experiments. Khorana, Holley and Nirenberg received the Nobel Prize (1968) for their work. The three stop codons were named...

reading frames are defined as spans of DNA sequence between the start and stop codons. Usually, this is considered within a studied region of a prokaryotic...

The start codon is the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine in eukaryotes...

moves to the next mRNA codon to continue the process (translocation), creating an amino acid chain. Termination: When a stop codon is reached, the ribosome...

reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the first stop codon ("UAA", "UGA"...

variant that causes loss of a stop codon Stop-Loss (film), a 2008 film about soldiers subject to the stop-loss policy "Stop-Loss" (Dollhouse), an episode...

termination of translation (stop codons). There are 64 different codons (61 codons encoding for amino acids and 3 stop codons) but only 20 different translated...
