Genetic Code |
This workbook allows the user to recreate the steps in breaking the genetic code. The user enters the sequence of repetitive synthetic mRNA strands, which are translated in vitro to produce repetitive polypeptides. The user must then deduce the underlying genetic code. An instructor can set the workbook to use the actual genetic code, a random code using the same triplet format as the actual code, or an entirely different kind of proposed genetic code. |
