Lab 1: From Genetic Code to Proteins
Reading: Chapters 1-5
Video: Orient yourself to basics of translation and transcription by watching these videos:
Professor Anderson’s Translation and Transcription Video
Genetic Code Chart
Note this chart is of the mRNA nucleotide sequence not DNA
, The genetic code is degenerate, with two to six codons specifying each of the amino acids except for
methionine and tryptophan. To explore this idea use the codon database and find data on the six
leucine codons. Go to the codon database complied from GenBank data: http://www.kazusa.jp/codon/ .
Search Homo sapiens, Escherichia coli O157:H7 EDL933, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Caenorhabditis
elegans in the query box (separate searches). You will want to open each search in a new tab or
window so that you can more easily compare the results.
